Can you sue your Dr for performing knee surgery while you were pregnant during your first trimester and no test was ever offered?

No. Doctors don't test women for every surgical procedure they need. They assume the woman herself check if she is pregnant and let him know.

Late period took test 6 days after period dues test negative nauseous headache everyday feeling bigger using withdrawal method as only form of protection. could i sill be pregnant. when 2 test again?

Yes you should test again to be on the safe side. But those symptoms are very common ones. Try to relax and take a bubble bath and you will calm down. If your period doesn't show you should go see a doctor. Make sure you get on birth control or use a condom, you make you lose feeling during sex, but you don't want to have to worry about losing out on life because of one simple and preventable mistake.

If a pregnancy test said negative on the day im supposed to get my period does that mean im not pregnant?

Well pregnancy tests are usually 99% accurate on the day of your expcected period but 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

You took a pregnancy test and the results were negative should you take another one?

A second test will probably show the same negative result. Wait a week and then try again. Of course, if you have had a period in the interim, you will know that you are not pregnant.

Does it mean you are pregnant if you missed your period have a lot of symptoms of pregnancy but the pregnancy test said no?

If you have missed one period, and the pregnancy test said negative, the 'symptoms' of pregnancy may be mostly psychological. It is possible to miss a period, or to have a late one. Wait another week, try another pregnancy test, and ensure you understand the directions fully. A missed period does not guarantee a pregnancy, but an over the counter pregnancy test does not guarantee the correct answer. Stay calm, wait, and check again. You have lots of time and you have options regardless of whether you're pregnant or not.

When are you tested for drugs during pregnancy?

It really depends on the health care provider. Often they will check at the first visit. but it may depend on the state you are in as well. They can also check randomly during your pregnancy. I am not sure about all states but usually if you are "positive" for something your health care provider Will discuss it with you and see if they can help you stop using while you are pregnant.

If you are pregnant, now is the most important time ever to stop using drugs or alcohol. You deserve to be healthy, have a healthy and drug free baby that is not damaged by drugs.

Good luck to you and don't delay getting prenatal care because of fear of them finding drugs in your system. Go in with the desire to do what is best for you and your baby. They are there to help you and usually they have helped many women stop using when they are pregnant.

Do you have to take a DNA test if you dont want to?

It depends on if it's a court ordered DNA test or if it's just someone telling you that you have to. If it's just someone that you might be related to or if you might have fathered their child then no you don't HAVE to. If you get a warrant from a lawyer that's signed by a judge saying you have to, then yes, you do.

What is the type of blood that you have?

If you are asking about your blood type, you would have to go to a doctor or get an at home blood test to figure out what blood type you have. If you were asking my blood type, I cannot disclose that information.

Why would you get 5 positive pregnancy test results and then a negative result?

Better yet, why are you taking that many pregnancy tests? I see two scenarios, the most obvious would be that you're newly pregnant and you've urinated all of of your stored HCG protein away, because you've must have drank a lot to make 6 pregnancy tests... Yes, you're pregnant. Stop taking tests as you're dehydrating yourself and your baby. Or, if there was a bit of time between these tests (not same day or within 3 days), you could have had a chemical pregnancy. A chemical pregnancy is a miscarriage. It occurs to 1/3 of fertilized blastocysts. After about 3-5 days of being "unpregnant" your levels return to normal=negative pregnancy test.

What does it mean if on a pregnancy test there was one solid line and a clear pink line for the test line but it is hard to see?

Most pregnancy tests say that even a faint line confirms pregnancy.

A pregnancy test checks for how much hCG (a pregnancy hormone) is in your system - usually detectable 6-12 days after fertilisation. A test taken before your period is due might not show any hCG, even if you're pregnant, because it's too soon. Similarly, your hCG levels might still be low when you take a test - but any hCG says you're pregnant. (The exception is if you're having hCG injections to help you conceive.) So a faint line means the levels are there, but low. HOWEVER: you can also get "evaporation lines". That happens if you check the test after the 3-5 minute period advised (or whatever the manufacturer says) or if you use a test that's past its best-by date. If neither of these are the case, you're probably pregnant.

If you want confirmation, wait a couple of days and take another test, or visit a clinic which might have more sensitive tests available.

How far along does 16 on a pregnancy test mean?

Is 16 a result from a quantitative blood test from your doctor's office? If so, you are very early in the pregnancy, less than 4 weeks pregnant.

How much will it cost to do a paternity test at 6 months pregnant?

How do you read the results on icon 20 pregnancy test?

Once you drop three droplets of urine on the S field. If you did it correctly, a line will appear on the C field. THEN IF you are pregnant, the T field will show a line. If not, there should only be one line in the C field.
