Kristi I am not able to put my hands on that info right now, but as I seem to remember, implantation will occur around 5-7 days postovulation and implantation bleeding may occur up to several days after this. The HCG level begins to rise at this time, but the level is so variable, that is why individual levels matter not, more the trend and rate are important. Hope this helps.
