Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have read your query & I understand your concerns.

Implantation occurs by 5th day after conception.

Urine test becomes positive approximately 3 weeks after implantation. For example if your implantation is on July 1 You will get positive urine test by 21 July.

If you want earlier result please get serum beta hCG test done after 2 weeks ( 14th July in above example).

I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any followup queries you have.

Regards,
