How soon can you take a pregnancy test after implantation?

The first day of my last period was 1/7/07. I had some brown spotting for less than a day on 1/19/07. I am assuming that that was implantation blood and that I am pregnant. I am hoping so - I took a test on 1/21 because I am impatient and it was negative. I have heard that it takes 6-8 days after implantation to have at least 25 hcgs.... Is this true - when should I test again.

yea, although tests claim accuracy 14 days after ovulation, in reality it will be a further 7 days for the average woman to show up positive for pregnancy. (so perhaps try 21 Days Post ovulation)

or you could get an Early response test - Clearblue early response is good. they are designed to pick up positive results earlier, so I suppose they'd be more sensitive.

good luck!!!!!
