Hello, I was wondering if you do experience implantation bleeding how soon after that can you test positive for pregnancy?
Answer -
If you have a normal 28 day cycle (fr om the first day of your period until the first day of your next period) ovulation occurs on cycle day #14. You can only cnceive if you have unprotected sex on cycle day #13, 14, 15, or 16 each month. If you do, indeed, conceive on one of those days, a pregnancy test will not show a positive result until 14 -21 days later. The best time to take a pegnancy test is seven das after missing your next period. Implantation usually occurs around 8 days after cnception. HOwevewr, even if you notice implantation spotting, a pregnancy test will not show a positive result until enough HCG is produced and that is usually after 14-21 dqys from conception.
AnswerImplantation usually occurs 8 days after fertilization of the ovum (concpetion). If your last period started on January, 20, you ovulated fourteen days later (February 2) and could have conceived if you had sex on February 1,2,3, or 4. Implahtation sould have occurred around Februry 10 and could have been accompanied by bleeding or no bleeding. In any case, a pregnancy test will not show a positive result until 14-21 days later. The best time (most accurate) to take a pregnancy test is seven days after you miss your next period. You were due for your next period on February 16. Therefore, the best time to take a pregnancy test is after February 23. Even if you had implantation bleeding, in order for a pregnancy test to show a positive result, there has to be a fair amount of HCG produced. The pregnancy test has nothing at all to do with implantation bleeding.
