Does a home pregnancy test come up positive after 2 weeks?

It depends on the sensitivity of the home pregnancy test and the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the urine. Generally, most home pregnancy tests are designed to detect hCG levels of 25 mIU/mL or higher. The level of hCG in the urine typically starts to rise a few days after implantation, which occurs about 6-12 days after ovulation. However, it may take several days or even weeks for the hCG level to reach a detectable level in the urine. Therefore, it is possible that a home pregnancy test may come up positive after 2 weeks, but it is more likely to be positive after 3 or more weeks of pregnancy.
