Can you be 12 weeks pregnant and still get your period and feel fetal movements in your abdomen?

If you are bleeding, call your doctor. If you have a confirmed pregnancy you aren't having your period.

First time mothers typically don't feel the baby moving until about 20 weeks although some might feel it earlier. I'm currently 16 weeks and am feeling bubbles that could be gas but could also be baby.

But again, I stress this - IF YOU ARE BLEEDING CALL YOUR DOCTOR. It might be nothing but you need to check. You are not getting your period if you're pregnant.

Have any of you used a First Response pregnancy test got a false negative before your period was due and later found out you were pregnant?

Yes ,that happened to me 9 years ago when Rite Aid sold expired pregnancy tests on the market.Also you might have your period during your first and second month of pregnancy .The most sure way to find out is to go to any medical center ,they offer urine pregnancy test and it's free.

Can you get pregnant if your dhea level is high?

What is wrong if your LMP was on 17th Sep with cycles 30-31 days hCG levels of 1340 and an ultrasound for pain on Nov 1st showed only a sac?

While some of the signs seem bad, don't lose hope just yet. By the dates you have mentioned, the scan was done when you were six weeks pregnant. At six weeks, an ultrasound should show a sac, a fetal pole, and a heartbeat. You also mentioned the hCG level - this is on the very low side of average for six weeks, but is still within the normal range. A much better indicator is if the levels fall or stabilize so it would be worth asking to be retested.

An important point to note is that you have long cycles. This may be an explanation for why your hCG levels are still apparently low for the number of weeks, and may also explain why the ultrasound looks like one done at five weeks.

I'd be getting the retest on hCG levels...if they haven't fallen or stayed the same, all is probably well and your baby is a little younger than the dates suggest. Should you be going to miscarry, the pain will continue and some bleeding occur. If the pain has continued on, you would need to keep asking for the reason.

Is a woman fertile two days before period?

No. You are fertile around ovulation (around 3 days before and one day after) and you get your period around 13-15 days after that.

Can you only really be 6 weeks if you are told you are 12 weeks pregnant at a scan?

With that much of a difference,not likely. But your baby could be on the larger side, but not THAT much larger. The ultrasounds are pretty accurate. They are measuring the brain development, skull size, and other organs to get this estimate.

In California what labor laws is pregnancy protected as?

Is it possible to miscarriage one twin and that's the reason for the bleeding and dropping HCG levels?

From what I have read yo can miscarry one twin, it is called vanishing twin syndrom and usually happens in the first trimester. But it's called vanishing because the twin dissolves into the mother with little to no bleeding.

Do some pregnancies take longer to produce hcg levels than others?

I am guessing by this question that you suspect pregnancy but have had negative results. Perhaps I shouldn't guess at it though. I will say it varies the first month after conception. Some show more than others. Also taking a test when urine is most concentrated, such as when first waking up, will prove more effective in detecting HCG.

What is the hgc hormone?

HGC stands for human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a hormone produced during pregnancy. It is often used in pregnancy tests to detect the presence of the hormone in urine or blood, indicating pregnancy. HGC helps support the production of other hormones essential for sustaining a pregnancy.

Why doesn't an HCG test pick up my pregnancy?

maybe it is still early for the HCG to show in the urine.After 1 missed period and 16 days.HCG in the blood will show after a missed period and 10 days.

Dose it mean if they sent my hcg level to the lab i could be pregnant?

Not necessarily. It depends what you were being tested for. If this was a yearly gynocologist visit they will check to see if you're pregnant. A normal hcg is below 4.5. Hcg is now being used synthetically as a metabolite to help with diet so this could be another reason your level was checked. If you are concerned call your doctor and ask, or get a drug store pregnancy test for piece of mind!
