It is possible to tell quickly in some cases. It depends on how long after implantation it takes for your body to release hCG (which is what the tests test for) and how sensitive the test is. If you read the package directions, it should tell you how accurate the test is at various points after your missed period.

A false positive is extremely rare, but false negatives can occur if you take the test too early (not the case here, obviously).

Congratulations on the pregnancy.
