Can you get a negative with a blood test during implantation bleeding?

Yes, absolutely. Every woman produces different amounts of hcg, which is the hormone that the pregnancy test detects. It can take some women a week after implantation (or longer) to produce a detectable amount of hcg for a blood test.


Could you still be pregnant if you get a blood test done and it comes out negative and would the blood test detect the pregnancy hormone before implantation has fully occurred?

I called a lab near my home because I wanted to know the same thing. I was told by the lady who does the testing that you need to wait to have blood test done up to 10 days after ovulation so that implantation is complete otherwise you will get a neg result even if you are pregnant due to the fact that your body does not really start producing the hormones until implantation is complete.


How do blood tests diagnose premature menopause?

Blood tests measure the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The levels of these hormones will be higher if menopause has occurred.


How soon can a blood test tell you you are pregnant?

== == Some early home pregnancy tests can show a positive result as early as 10 days past ovulation and can detect levels of hCG (the hormone that shows pregnancy) as low as 20 mIU. I would guess that a blood test might show as early as 8. For most women, implantation occurs between 6-10 days past ovulation, and hCG will not be in your bloodstream until after implantation has occurred. The hormone level doubles every 36 hours or so, so even if the embryo implanted at day 6, a day or two would need to pass in order for the hormone to be present.


If a small amount of brown discharge occurred after a stressful couple days but it corresponds to implantation time could you be pregnant even if on the pill?

Yes this could be implantation bleeding. This happened to me when I was on the pill. See your doctor for a blood test.


Why do women test their urine to see if they are pregnant?

A woman's body secretes a hormone while pregnant which can usually be detected on a home pregnancy test a week or two after implantation (a woman's body doesn't know it's pregnant until implantation and therefore doesn't secete the hormone until that happens) of the fertilized egg (which is about a week after conception). The hormone is in the blood stream which is filtered by the kidneys which create urine. Therefore the hormone can be detected in urine.


Do you bleed the day of implantation or after- had sharp pains 7dpo and brownish discharge 9 dpo When could implantation have occurred if at all?

It is possible to bleed for days after implantation. If the blood is brownish, that indicates the blood is not 'fresh' and it turned brown before exiting the vagina. This could be implantation bleeding, as implanation usually occurs between 5 and 10 days past ovulation (but can occur up to 14 days past ovulation).


Would a test be accurate during implantation?

Fertilization is when the pregnancy hormone hCG has begun production and this hormone is what is searched for by pregnancy tests (urine and blood). However, this amount can be very little and may be difficult for a urine test to pick up. You can get the best accuracy a few days after your missed period, but they (urine tests) can detect up to 5 days before the first day of your last menstrual period. There is hCG during implantation, so it does have the potential to be detected and accurate, particularly for blood tests which are much more sensitive than urine tests.


How soon after implantation can you detect the pregnancy hormone in a pregnancy test?

It can take about 6-12 days after implantation for a pregnancy test to detect the pregnancy hormone hCG in urine. However, for more accurate results, it's recommended to wait until after you miss your period to take a pregnancy test.


How soon after implantation do hCG levels rise?

HCG stands for "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin", the pregnancy hormone. HCG is being produced by the placenta and enters the blood stream as soon as implantation happens, about one week after fertilization and ovulation, when the embryo implants and the placenta attaches to the uterine lining.


What hormone reduces blood glucose levels and what hormone raises blood glucose levels?

Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.


Can you have stringy blood during implantation bleeding?

It is unlikely to have stringy blood during implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is typically light and may be pink or brown in color. Stringy blood clots are more commonly associated with heavy menstrual bleeding.
