Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone present in the blood within about a week of conception.

It is secreted by cells that develop into the placenta.

Pregnancy hormone likely would have been detected by this time, but due to varying sensitivities of different pregnancy tests, you could certainly be pregnant.

I have taken two pregnancy tests one had a faint line and the other didn't What do I do?
Read the instructions on the test again or just take another test, but a digital one this time that either says 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' Most likely you're pregnant, just may not be enough of the pregnancy hormone to be detected my a home test. I would suggest that you visit your doctor to have it confirmed through blood work. Then a hormone level can be detected and any doubts you may have will be eliminated.
Why do women test their urine to see if they are pregnant?
A woman's body secretes a hormone while pregnant which can usually be detected on a home pregnancy test a week or two after implantation (a woman's body doesn't know it's pregnant until implantation and therefore doesn't secete the hormone until that happens) of the fertilized egg (which is about a week after conception). The hormone is in the blood stream which is filtered by the kidneys which create urine. Therefore the hormone can be detected in urine.

Digital tests are some of the best home pregnancy tests on the market. They are easy to read and have only a small margin of error.
