A member asked:

How long after sex does the implantation process occur?could the egg already have implanted 3-4 days after sex to get a positive pregnancy test day 5?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually day 6: Humans are not as predictable as we would like so ovulation may have happened early or implantation maybe could have occurred early. I would not discount the possibility of an early pregnancy
