If you have not concieved, there will be
no hCG (human choriogonadotropin) present
at all. If conception has occured and the
fertilized egg has implanted itself into
the uterus, hCG levels could be detected
8-10 days after ovulation. In the first
seven weeks, the level of hCG increases
and doubles every 2-3 days.This means that
the hCG-level on the 12th day past
ovulation should be twice that as on the
10th day. Therefore, the absolute value
of your hGC levels at 12 days past
ovulation is less important than the rapid
hCG-level progression you can monitor over
a few days.
