Find out when the fertilized egg will implant in your uterus and the earliest date you can take a reliable pregnancy test.
Implantation occurs 6–12 days post-ovulation. hCG detectable ~14 days post-ovulation.
After fertilization, the embryo (now a blastocyst) travels down the fallopian tube over 4–6 days and embeds into the uterine lining — a process called implantation. This occurs 6–12 days after ovulation, with most implantation occurring on days 8–10 post-ovulation.
Implantation bleeding is typically much lighter than a period, lasting 1–3 days vs 3–7 days, appears pinkish or brownish (not bright red), and occurs earlier than the expected period. If you experience heavy bleeding, contact your healthcare provider.
