it usually is within seven to ten days after implantation that the hcg has built up enough to tell so wait about one week and test if you dont get the result you want go to the doctor to find out for sure.

I have a 22 day cycle. I got a positive pregnancy test on Day 17 of the cycle. I used a test with a 25 sensitivity for the hcg level. My doctor has done 2 tests both were negative. I know my body and knew I was pregnant. I used this to pick out my pregnancy test. You need to go with the lowest possible number to get the results before you have missed your period. I got this info. from my Doula. Find a brand with the lowest number of mIU .
good luck!
Pregnancy Test - Sensitivity Comparison
Pregnancy Tests and hCG Values
The pregnancy tests on the market today range widely in their sensitivity in picking up the pregnancy hormone, hCG. In the chart below, the lower the number in the "hCG Detected" column, the earlier you can use the pregnancy tests. As a general rule, hCG levels, if you are pregnant, are between 5 - 50 mIU a week before your period is due. The hCG levels in your system should double every two to three days.
Please remember that every woman is different and the time it takes for the fertilized egg to implant in your uterus wall can vary. A common misconception is that implantion occurs 7 days after conception, but the research findings showed that first appearance of HCG (implantation) occurred 6-12 days after ovulation, with 84% of the pregnancies implanting on days 8-10 after ovulation. If you don't get a positive pregnancy test, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are not pregnant. It could be that you ovulated later than you thought (meaning that conception and subsequent hCG production didn't happen as when you expected) or that, for you, implantation took longer than the average. Your period arriving is a sign that you are not pregnant this cycle, as is a negative blood test from your doctor.
Is a super sensitive pregnancy test the best to use?
For most women, the resounding answer would be YES! It allows you to know earlier if your attempts to conceive were sucessful and get medical care as soon as possible. There *is* a down side to extra sensitive pregnancy tests though. 25% of all pregnancies unfortunately end in miscarriage and many of these being very early pregnancies. If you use a very sensitive pregnancy test, where you test before the day your period is due, you could catch an early pregnancy but end up going on to have your period anyway due to a very early miscarriage. Some women will find it very hard to deal with this sort of emotional rollercoaster.

after implantation occurs, your body will begin to produce the hcg hormones. it will probably take several days for your hormone level to rise, to where it can be detected. so i would wait about a week to make sure they are high enough, so you don't get any false negatives and waste money by buying tons of tests.
good luck!
