it is detected 3minutes after you urinate on the test stick..... if it takes any longer than 4minutes then the test is not reliable as it could be faulty... the pregnancy hormone detected on a test will then last/stay on the test for how ever long you keep the test!
A specific hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is typically detected in the blood during pregnancy. The levels of hCG rise rapidly in the early stages of pregnancy and can be measured through a blood test to confirm pregnancy.
Sometimes there is not enough HCG, the pregnancy hormone in your urine when you first test it. After two more weeks, if you are pregnant, the hormone will probably be detected at that time because it will have increased in concentration.
It typically takes about 6-12 days after fertilization for a pregnancy test to be positive. This allows time for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus and for the body to start producing the hormone hCG, which is detected by pregnancy tests.
Spermicide should not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of hCG hormone in urine, which is produced by a developing embryo. Spermicide works by killing sperm to prevent fertilization, and should not interfere with the hormone levels detected by a pregnancy test.
A hormone pregnancy test, typically a urine test, is a common way to confirm pregnancy. There are other ways, as well, and a hormone test is not the only approach.
Pregnancy can also be detected through a blood test
Phenazopyridine is not expected to affect the results of a pregnancy test as it does not contain hCG, the hormone detected in pregnancy tests. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
It is possible to miss a period, be pregnant, and have a negative pregnancy test. In the early stages of pregnancy, the levels of beta HCG hormone (the hormone of pregnancy) is too low to be detected. Other possibilities include hormonal imbalance and ovarian disorder. Repeating the pregnancy test in another week or two may help sort things out.
YES! You should go to a doctor. The pregnancy test showed up positive because it detected the hormone that says your pregnant..
No. The pregnancy test is only effected by hCG (the pregnancy hormone).
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone present in the blood within about a week of conception. It is the hormone detected in a blood or urine pregnancy test, but it usually takes three to four weeks for levels of hCG to be high enough to be detected by home pregnancy tests. It is secreted by cells that develop into the placenta.
Im guessing you meant tubes. Sometimes a tubular pregnancy can bet detected through a home pregnancy test. But due to the possibility of lower levels of hormone with ectopic pregnancy it is possible to have a home test show that you are not pregnant while you have an EP. So if you are concerned you may have that issue i would contact your dr or go to the ER
