Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.
You did test too early. Levels of hCG, which is the hormone that is produced only during pregnancy and by the cells that will form the placenta, can be detected in urine about 12 to 14 days following conception. Levels can be detected in blood about 11 days following conception.
Breast changes are a very early sign of pregnancy. A woman's hormone levels rapidly change after conception. Because of the changes, her breasts may become swollen, sore, or tingly a week or two later.
I can appreciate how eager you are to know if you are pregnant. Wait a little bit longer and then take another pregnancy test.
