According to my doctor, fertilization can happen within 24 hours of ovulation, but pregnancy technically begins at implantation. That process takes about 6-12 days after intercourse. So your hCG hormone levels will only rise after that.
Haha, it's not instant magic! In my case, double the action took some time too. It takes around 6 to 12 days for implantation to happen after intercourse, so grab a cup of tea and relax for a couple of weeks.
It definitely takes around 6 to 12 days for the egg to implant and the pregnancy to actually begin. I remember counting days anxiously before my positive, and now after a long journey and a C-section, my baby is here. Just give it some time, dear.
Let's be practical, don't expect a positive test the next day. It actually takes about a week to ten days for the fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Better to wait for your missed period before wasting money on pregnancy kits.
Arre turant nahi hota yaar! Sperm ko egg se milne aur settle hone mein thoda time lagta hai. Kam se kam 6 se 10 din lag jaate hain implantation hone mein, toh itna jaldi test mat karna na.
I am also researching this since we are trying! From what I read, it doesn't start immediately after sex. Sperm can wait inside for up to 5 days, and then fertilization and implantation can take another week or so.
