About two weeks or say 2-3 weeks.

This is the best way to describe what you are looking for:

A couple expecting a child can estimate the approximate time of conception (fertilization) by adding fourteen days to the date of the onset (beginning) of the last period. They can predict the time of birth by adding 266 days to the fertilization date. Most babies are born within 10 - 15 days of this calculated time. (Hole's Anatomy & Physiology)

Implantation takes approximately up to two weeks to complete.

So effectively the best time for you to test for pregnancy would be on August 24th. This is when the hCG hormone will be at the highest level in your body. This will last for the first two - three months of pregnancy and then begin to slack off.

Good Luck and please keep us posted.

could i test maybe next week as well and hcg would be detected?

You could test next week, which would be the 14th through the 19th. hCG may be present. However, if you read my post above yours your best test date would be on or around the 24th.

Good Luck

Without a complete history and physical I can only guess that you would be about 4 - 6 weeks. But understand that for some women the hCG hormone does not show until the 8 - 12th week of pregnancy.

Without doing a complete in-person history and physical it is impossible for me to give you any idea if you are pregnant or when you will get your period.

The info I am giving you is strictly from the info that you gave me.

Our cycles all vary according to age, hormone levels, stress and several other factors. I have my cycle every 60 days, some have theirs every 21 days, etc.

Please treat your body as though you are pregnant until you know for sure. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Good Luck
