Pls, I really need this question answered. If fertilization takes place, when will human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) start to be secreted?
It is made by the placenta so very shortly after implantation.

So will the placenta start developing?

At implantation, if she's pregnant.

I mean how many days after fertilization will the hormone be secreted?

Implantation varies after fertilization. It can be 3-5 days or so.

You still need to wait 2, preferably 3, weeks after having sex to test as the hormone levels need time to rise high enough to be detected.

Alrit, thanks a lot brother I appreciate. I will wait till next week then. I wanna ask for advice bro, in case she is pregnant, what will I do cos she's not ready for abortion. She's 18 and am 24, I just graduated from the university as a biochemist last year, no job yet and am still living with my parents. My gf isn't in the university yet, but she will be by september. How do I face her parents and my parents too? Just advice me cos am sure she pregnant.

Rhadnee,

Right now you can't say for sure if she is or isn't pregnant. Wait the 2-3 weeks and test.

If she is pregnant you're just going to have to "man up" and accept responsibility. Both of you can work out what you want to do - that include maybe putting the baby up for adoption.

You're not a kid anymore, hate to say it but you know it's true. You will have to just face them, adult to adult.

I don't understand putting the baby up for adoption, u mean after delivery we should give the baby out for adoption or what do u mean?

You can put the baby up for adoption during or after birth.

Talk to an adoption agency.

Lol... That's funny bro, your getting it wrong here. The problem is how to let my parents know my gf is pregnant and how to let her own parents know too. That's the problem. If she can give birth to the baby, our both parents can take good care of the baby. That's not a problem. I was seriously warned by mum and equally her mum about getting her pregnant so I don't know how to face both parents after the whole advice and warning. We both are from christian family who preach against premarital sex which the bible is equally against. U see where the problem is bro. I really need advice on how to talk to my parents to soften their heart not to disown me.
