Adhesions typically begin to form within the first few days after surgery, but they may not produce symptoms for months or even years. As scar tissue begins to restrict motion of the small intestines, passing food through the digestive system becomes progressively more difficult. The bowel may become blocked.
At the time of implantation, the placenta starts making the pregnancy hormone hCG, which then enters the blood stream. hCG can be detected in the blood about 3 to 4 days after implantation. Urine hCG can be detected about 2 to 3 days after blood hCG can first be seen. Detection of hCG depends on timing of implantation so hCG can normally be detected in the blood between 9 and 16 days after ovulation (HPT: 12-19 days after ovulation).
The test is performed too early. A blood pregnancy test can only detect hCG in the blood at around seven days post-conception. If a pregnancy test is done before that seven days is up, the test might not be able to detect the hCG yet. This can cause a negative result when a woman is really pregnant. Too high hCG levels. Sometimes, a woman will have extremely high levels of hCG in her blood when she is not actually pregnant.
