Even though you are 14 days past ovulation, that doesn't mean you conceived on the actual day one of your ovaries released a fertilized egg. The conception date might be a day you had sex, or some days later because sperm can live in the body for up to five days.
Implantation needs to occur before hCG is produced.
Within 24-hours after fertilization, the egg begins dividing rapidly into many cells. It remains in the fallopian tube for about three days. The fertilized egg continues to divide as it passes slowly through the fallopian tube to the uterus and then attach to the endometrium. This is implantation.
A blood hCG or pregnancy test is more accurate than a urine test. It is more expensive. Wise and frugal not to test too early.
