Does everyone always have implantation spotting. I'm 7 DPO and have had no spotting. How soon after the last day of ovulation can implantation take place. Also how soon can I take a HPT and it give me a right answer? My period isn't due until the 29th. Thanks for any replies!!!

Not everyone has implantation spotting. It's actually supposed to be more common NOT to have it than to have it. The books and websites I've read are sort of all over the place as far as when implantation can occur, but most seem to agree at least on 4-12DPO (I know - it's quite a range).

You can take an "early" variety HPT as many as 3-4 days before AF is due, but their reliability at that range is suspect at best (only capture about 50% of positives). If you can stand to wait at all, try waiting until the 29th or 30th, and test with FMU.

Good luck to you!

Implantion on average occurs within 7 to 10 days after ovulation. My doctor has said he has seen it be as soon as 4 . No not every woman has implantion spotting. After implantion it takes a few days for the hcg to rise ! I would not test untill af is due.
