Is it possible to have low HCG levels in second pregnancy when it was low in your first pregnancy?
Every pregnancy is independent of the last. If your hcg is low, that's not a big deal, as long as its doubling approximately every 2 days
When can you take a home pregnancy test your cycle is 32 days and your last period was 10-04?
It depends on when you ovulate. Day 1 for me was 10-5, I have a 32 day cycle, but I ovulate early, day 14, so technically I should be able to test now, however I am still coming up Big Fat Negative. Most folks with a 32 day cycle actually ovulate somewhere between cycle day 18-21. Which would mean you ovulated around 10-23, fertilized around 10-24, and implamented maybe yesterday...I'd wait another 4 or 5 days, and then test. When you have a longer cycle, you tend to ovulate later, and therefore have to wait later to test. you can test just before time to get your period. I'd wait til the 3rd or 4th. Just my personal experiences.
How many weeks pregnant do you have to be before a hpt will show up pos?
14 days after intercourse or the day of your expected period.
If you had a normal pregnancy, you aren't pregnant. If it was irregular or light, you should take a test.
CORRECTION...If you had a regular period, not pregnancy, you aren't pregnant.
ANSWER
I got my regular period for 5months in my pregnancy. Some people do get their regular period during their pregnancy.
To get the most accurate result it is best to wait 5 to 10 days after a missed period. You can test with a 5 days before your missed period test BUT remember if it comes out negative, it could be a false negative and will want to test again once your period is late.
How long after due period should a pregnancy test be done?
you can take a test from the first day that your period is due but it is recommended to wait for a cycle before the test. It takes several weeks for the hormone levels to be high enough for the test to be accurate.
Pregnancy test came back positive within seconds did it work right?
Yes. Most commonly when you are pregnant and take a home pregnancy test it shows up fairly quick. Especially if you are far enough along that your hormone levels are already pretty high.
If you took NyQuil at night and the next day took a piss test would it test positive for alcohol?
Yes
What about ESR level growth in blood test?
ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It is a haemotology (blood) test that is used as a basic marker for inflamation. If the ESR is raised, this is an indication that there is some type of inflamation occurring within the body.
It is a very general test, although it can be used (in part) as a differential diagnostic test for some illnesses such as Kawasaki's disease, temporal arteritis and SLE.
What hormone increases during pregnancy?
Starting in very early pregnancy, progesterone and hCG levels rise. Later estrogen takes over.
Not if you actually got your period. Pregnancy like symptoms can be caused by other things.
A doctor probably could if you went to see one. Without an examination, it's unlikely that anyone could accurately tell you why.
Do you think it could be because of stress?
Why should a women know if she is pregnant early?
to take care of baby and herself, i.e. stop use alcohol and sigarettes
your should take a pregnancy test 19 days after having sex
you should also start keeping track of your period, it helps a lot when you are trying to figure things like this out and helps you plan better in general. there are free easy to use websites out there, i like www.bodytimer.com because it only asks for an email. hope that helps!
It means that either the blood tests were wrong or the home pregnancy test was wrong
I have the pregnancy hormone but no fetus?
Hi,
Do not want to sound alarming, but someone in my entourage had the same thing and it turned out to be leftover cells from a previous pregnancy that had turned cancerous.
Hopefully your case is different but I would consult ASAP.
Thanksx
== == yes Read the directions that came with the test kit.
Are you pregnant when the pregnancy test say positive even though bit faint?
a line is a line.. and 2 lines means a positive test.. however your light line can just be from testing pretty early! or it could be due to a chemical pregnancy, in which case your period would start. To know, I would say to do another test again in a couple days, with the first urine of the morning and see if it gets darker or has gone negative. ~pawsalmighty
Depending on how much time passed before it said postive I would say no. Just take another test to see for sure.
I believe that means you are 3+ weeks pregnant.
Calculate how pregnant you are from the first day of your last period.
A positive pregnancy test is generally accurate, however if you get a negative result, it could be wrong - i.e. you could have tested too early, or at the wrong time of day. If your period still hasn't arrived, try another test, or visit your doctor.
What if i missed my period on birth control and got two negative tests?
2 days isn't much. If your period doesn't show for weeks, see a doctor or free clinic. FYI, you can be pregnant and still have a period.
Period pains ten days before your period is due?
That's normal. Most people get a very painful stomach pain once in a while when your period is nearing. (or other symptoms that indicate that your period is starting soon) Some people experience pain, some people not and every person can have a different time when they start getting period pains.
How is the partial thromboplastin time test usually paid for?
The partial thrmoboplastin time test is usually covered by insurance.
HCG is measured in urine or blood?
The presence or absecne of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) can be measured in both the urine and in blood.
Quantitative analysis (showing the rising levels of HCG as pregnancy progresses) can only be done in blood.
