I have a question about when you start making HCG. I always thought it was at implantation but someone recently said to me it was at conception. Which is it?

Thanks so much.

The HCG can't start until implantation occurs. This is the first real "communication" between your little baby and your body.

Good luck to you!

In fact, BHCG does get produced in small quantity at conception until implantation occurs, this is when you would see a rapid rise in HCG every 2-3days. It is at the rapid rise that you can detect PG in your urine.
