"HCG appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception. Quantitative HCG measurements can help to determine the exact age of the fetus and can diagnose abnormal preqnancies, such as ectopic pregnancies, molar pregnancies, and potential miscarriages. It is also used as part of a screening test for Down Syndrome."

There is no specific answer. The answers posted in books or online are averages. In other words, that's what the average (around 50%) of women will feel, or go through.

When it comes to pregnancy, or anything regarding a woman's body, averages don't help, and aren't accurate.

Some women don't get a positive pregnancy test until their second trimester. Some women get a positive 2 days after a missed period. Some women don't every get a positive, even minutes before they're about to deliver a baby. Anything is possible.

Blood tests aren't 100% accurate. No test is. Every test has the chance to fail.

How late is your period? When was the blood test done?

Give me a bit more info. That info won't determine if you're pregnant or not, no one can diagnose pregnancy online. But, that info would be helpful in determining if this is a matter of testing too soon.
