Pregnancy Tests

It takes roughly 24 hours for sperm to travel to the egg and fertilize it and then another week or so for the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus and implant in the uterine wall. Once implanted, it begins to form the placenta, which is what produces HCG, the hormone that pregnancy tests look for, even the bloodtest that you get at the doctor's office.

yes it could be possible, though during that time those tests are prety accurate but not foolproof, it could of been your error or the test wasnt good take another test, as for your symptomsit could mean pregnancy but could also mean other things, they arent just true to pregnancy, hope you figure everything out

They take you out on a public roadway, whether in your testing area any of them are numnbered highways or not, no one can tell.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This depends on the hospital and their markup over what they are paying to have it done. Hospitals do not generally have DNA labs, due to costs, but rather contract out the service. Going to the DNA clinic directly, and if you are looking for a court admissible test, runs around $400. Hospitals will mark that up 200-300%.

In January, a Bill is being introduced in Tennessee the require paternity testing in all new births, which than may than reduce the cost.

The first thing both of you need to do is to go see a doctor to get a proper pregnancy test. Being a month late is a often an indicator of pregnancy in my 17 years of experience. The hormones that are given in the birth control shot (Depo-Provera) are known to cause sever birth defects I am sorry to say. The next step is to go to family planning therapy after getting the results of the pregnancy test as having a disabled child is very hard to even the strongest of couples. I wish you and your girlfriend the best of luck.

Hi, sore breasts are a sign of hormonal changes and could be a sign that you are about to get a period. my last depo was July 2008. For around 2 weeks in the summer (2009) I had really sore and heavy breasts, then started a period. It's one sign your body is returning to its normal cycle. If a pregnancy test was negative it's unlikely you're pregnant. if you don't get a period soon and your breasts are still sore, take another test or go see the practice nurse at your local surgery to be safe and get peace of mind!

I need to get 100iu injection of hcg in an insulin syringe, what can I do?

No. If you are one week pregnant, technically you will not have missed your period yet. Pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last period. So during week one, you are on your period.

The pregnancy will usually be detectable around week 3. That is when the egg meets the sperm and implantation occurs. Once the ovum (egg/sperm) has implanted, your body will start creating the hormone HCG (that's what the pregnancy tests are looking for).

Okay need to add alittle and it wouldn't let me. I did take a test 2 days ago and it said not pregnant. i have been taking antibotics and i heard that can mess up a test. I don't know when to retest other than i should. any suggestions

There are several possibilities, depending how far into the pregnancy you are, any symptoms you are having and if there was an underlying condition unrelated to pregnancy.

Low kidney function

UTI / bladder infection.

Pre-eclampsia

there is quite a high false negative rate if the test is taken this early. It depends when implantation took place. Wait a few days and take the test again, this gives the hormones time to build up.

yes

The reason it's best to take a hpt with your first morning urine is because the hormone produced at this stage is still not very much and as the first urine is much more concentrated there will be more hormone in it than in the watery urine later in the dayand also wait until you missed your period to test or there won't be enough hormone. If you are still unsure then you should go to your doctor and take a blood test ----best of luck

Yes, unfortunately an estimated 50% of pregnancies are lost before they are ever even discovered. Your period is actually a very early miscarriage. This is called a chemical pregnancy.

* It MAY be a sign of having had a chemical pregnancy. Spotting or even a period when you're first pregnant can be implantation bleeding. And false negatives can happen for all kinds of reasons. Bleeding during pregnancy accompanied by cramps/abdominal pain can be a bad sign, though, and you should call your doctor. But false negatives are way more common than false positives, and you should rely on a doctor's advice to be sure.

it will change from light blue to green to the orange and then to cherry red.

Yes because it is a blood test which picks up smaller amounts of the hcg hormone so its more accurate.

The test will show positive for a few weeks after a miscarriage until the hormones have settled. You need to get a ultrasound to be sure.

Women can still get their period or spott when they are pregnant. If the pregnancy test came back positive, then girl go to the doctors. They will do a blood test to make sure. It's better to know than not to know. By the sounds of things I would say you are pregnant. Congrats!!

2 weeks after you had sex at the earliest

It could be due to birth control pills, especially if you are just starting them or if you are switching brands of birth control pills. 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 expand on this question. 2 and a half months ago I took 4 urine tests and all were possitive. I took one the other week and it was negative which was weird and scary to me. I have irregular periods but have never gone longer than two months. It has now been almost 5 months. I have nasea and have to sleep all the time, my breats are a little tender and I have to urinate all the time and other pregnancy symptoms. I have had burning in my upper abdomen, and aches and pains and back pain and headaches. My stomach is sometimes tender to touch and I'm gaining more weight (but that could be anything ) Should I be scared or should I be worried I misscarried without knowing? I have had no kind of blood whatsoever in almost 5 months.
