Well I suppose you can take a pregnancy test at any time but for best result I recommend
* Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1-2 days before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam like strip * wait for the results
A pregnancy test comes with a sensitivity of 20mIU HCG, these are the HCG levels after ovulation. You can get positive results 3 days before your menstruation... usually a person tests some days after his normal menstruation and should show a clear signal. * 3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml * 4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml * 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml * 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml * 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml * 9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml * 13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml * 17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml * 25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml * Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml * Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml
Pregnancy tests look for a special hormone in the urine or blood that is only there when a woman is pregnant. This hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), can also be called the pregnancy hormone. The pregnancy hormone, hCG, is made in your body when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. This usually happens about 6 days after conception. But studies show that the embryo doesn't implant until later in some women. The amount of hCG increases drastically with each passing day you are pregnant. Many home pregnancy tests claim they can tell if you're pregnant on the day you expect your period. But a recent study shows that most don't give accurate results this early in pregnancy. Waiting one week after a missed period will usually give a more accurate answer.
1 week
After 16 days of ovulation a pregnancy test be positive.
8-10 days after ovulation
Ovulation has a 3 days window. Day one you are beginning to ovulate, day two you are ovulating and day three you are finishing ovulation. During this time there is a high risk of pregnancy.
Most women can get a clearly positive home pregnancy test 14 to 16 days after ovulation.
# Conception usually occurs about 5-7 days after intercourse # Your most fertile period is about 5 days before ovulation # For most(but not all) women ovulation occurs about 14 days prior to her period.
285 day gestation / 365 days a year = 0.781 years.
A full term human pregnancy is to 259 - 280 days or 37-40 weeks. This is calculated from the first day of your last period, so to be more accurate, if conception took place 14 days after the first day of your last period, you need to subtract 14 days from the 259-280 days. However, the way the medical community gages it, a woman is considered 2 weeks pregnant the day she conceives because they chart the pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual cycle.
Those symptoms are not likely to be pregnancy related 5 days post ovulation, since even if the ovum was fertilized - it is very unlikely to have implanted in the uterine lining yet (or is just begun to implant) - so technically you would not yet be pregnant. While the cause of many of the symptoms of pregnancy are not well understood, they are most likely a result of hormonal changes that begin in the days after the blastocyst implants and is considered an embryo.
I believe it is 16 days if not you may be pregnant.
A home pregnancy test should be accurate from 2 weeks after ovulation or from the day your period is due. If you don't know then do a test 2-3 weeks after you had unprotected sex.
A mare can potentially get in foal ten days post foaling, however, many mares will ovulate before 10 days post foaling during their foal heat. It is generally believed that mares the ovulate before the uterus has fully returned to it's normal pre pregnancy condition (about 10 days to clean and fully involute) cannot maintain a pregnancy. If no breeding is done during the foal heat the breeder is aware of her ovulation date, she can be short cycled using prostiglandin 5 days post ovulation and she will be receptive in another 5 days. This would place estrus at anywhere from 16 to 20 days post foaling. If the mare is not short cycled she should return to estrus naturally 14 days post foal heat ovulation at 20 to 24 days (approximate).
14 days after conception a woman can determine pregnancy with a pregnancy test.
