Pregnancy is considered to begin at conception. However, it typically takes about 6 to 10 days after conception for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. Only after implantation can pregnancy be detected through hormonal changes, usually around the start of a missed menstrual period, or about two weeks after conception.
