Typically the process of implantation takes about 7 to 10 days as the fertilized egg attached itself to the uterine lining and begins to grow. However, this process can vary from woman to woman, sometimes happening within just a few short days of ovulation while other times it can take upwards of 14 days.
Soon after implantation occurs, the embryo begins producing human chorionic gonadotropin (HGC), a key pregnancy hormone. HGC is also the hormone that pregnancy tests detect. Implantation can occur anywhere from six to 12 days after ovulation, with it taking an average of about 10 days. However, it can take a couple of days after implantation for the body to produce sufficient levels of HGC for pregnancy tests to measure. Itâs generally recommended that women begin testing for pregnancy approximately 10 to 12 days after ovulation.
