@AuntyHatred she means for a homw pregnancy test but through blood work 6-8 days

each women is different and experience different things.

thats because the soonest you can find out is 6 to 8 days. but the hcg could still be fairly low, so for a more accurate result you should wait until your period is past due. that way you do not get a false negative.

... this is kind of helpfull but kind of frusturating. I did a insimination tyoe thing a week ago and I really want to know if it worked and if im pregnant.......

I am finding this confusing... she says hcg shows up at around 6 to 8 days after conception, but at the end she says wait until a week after missed period?? That's up to 3 weeks for some women!!

It's got to be either one or the other.
