Periods and Conception

This is normal. Women usually get cramps during ovulation and ovulation occurs a few weeks before your period

You could have a boy or a girl . It's the sperm that decides that, not the egg

Sometimes a few seconds, sometimes a few days. It depends how fast the sperm is and how far along in the menstrual cycle the woman is

3days

I have spoken to the Dr Grace Maree Anderson from Colac secondary college hearn st campus and she has informed me that pregnancy bloating is caused from a baby forming inside of you and period bloating is helped by going for a walk or going to the gym.

On day 10 or 11 usually

Yes. Typically symptoms may not show until 8 wks or later. Some women get no symptoms.

Yes

Pregnancy hormone likely would have been detected by this time, but due to varying sensitivities of different pregnancy tests, you could certainly be pregnant. It would be wise to try several types of home tests. The first urine of the morning has the highest concentration of pregnancy hormone. You could always go to your doctor and have a blood test to be certain.

Yes. You need to take a test

If you have a regular and normal period it is very unlikely as at that time your uterus is just not ready yet for the fertilized ovum and ovulation is still to far away.

Yes! Smoking can do two seriously harmful things to a baby. Firstly, the baby can be born with blood poisoning, and secondly (perhaps of the two that cannot be cured) is that the baby can be born addicted to smoking, especially if you smoked from the start to finish of the pregnancy.

The time that cramps start vary with everyone. Some get them days before their period while others get them the day of their period.

Yes. Fraternal twins are due to two eggs being released.

No - If they are on either side of the family, the incidence of twin pregnancy is increased, whether they run on the mum's side or the dad's side. And in addition to the above answer, fraternal (non-identical) twins are due to two different eggs being fertilised by two different sperm.

Yes, you can. It is harder to get pregant if your ovaries have a lot of cysts, but many women have done it!

Well it's called menopause and it's when your period stop the ages between 45-50-55

yes, if you are 35 - 40 years old, otherwise no.

Ovulation (peak in fertility) occurs mid cycle between day 12 and day 18 (as an average) - this is when the ova is fertilized by the sperm. Pregnancy is actually established about 8 days later when the embryo implants in the uterine lining. This is what triggers HCG, the hormone that a standard pregnancy test looks for.

A negative test could also be the result of a phantom pregnancy. A phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking it is pregnant. You will still experience pregnancy symptoms but you are not actually pregnant; it is al psychological Some women have even been able to lactate during a phantom pregnacny. The causes of a phantom pregnancy are either paranoia of being pregnant or having an extreme desire to become pregnant. There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc To ensure the best results: 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 day 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 Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.

if you are still getting your menstrual period there is a possibility of having a baby

It depends, you may get it as soon as 4 weeks after, or it may be many months particularly if you are completely breastfeeding. You can get pregnant though as you ovulate two weeks before your period.

depends on the test you're using - there are some which can tell you 4 days before your next period is due, but they're not always accurate.

Yes. You may still perhaps get pregnant unless you are at the age of 54 and over; then it is most likely you are past menopause, so you won't be able to get pregnant anymore.

usually you have to wait till the 3rd day after your period starts...around your 11th through your 16th day after your period is when you start ovalating...and there is always around 25% chance for you to get pregant..

More likely that this is when ovulation is taking place
