How soon after implantation would a pregnancy test show positive?
A fertilized egg takes about a week to implant itself to the uterine lining in the uterus. After it implants, it start producing the hormone hCG, which is what makes the pregnancy test positive. If you test too early (before the egg implants), chances are you’ll get a negative test even if per chance you may be pregnant. Also, if you take a test on the day that the egg implants, you may still get a negative test, or have a very weak positive. So – the best thing to do is wait until your next missed period because by then, if should have been at least 2 weeks since the conception.
