When you should start taking the pregnancy test?

If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor as soon as you can.Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include: * missed period * tender/swollen breasts * change in color of the breasts * fatigue * nausea/vomiting * increased sense of smell * weight gain Here is a link to a website that will calculate the probability of your pregnancy: http://www.thepregnancytest.com/

pretty much the same as a regular period and if your not carefull more so because you can get extreamly anemic.If you even suspect your preganent and having periods make sure you take a supplament.I have had periods with all my children and it is nerve racking because you question yourself well am i preganent or am i not? In this situaition a blood test is the best way to tell. My grandmother had her period threw out her hole pregnancy. I have been getting my period on time and then after my 1st period I started getting all the sympstoms, especially sore breasts. When the sore breasts wouldn't stop after it finished I started to get suspecious, but when my hpt test, both blood and urine kept on coming up neg I didn't think anything about it until i started to feel kicking in what would be my fourth month. Please note that the period is slightly, not that too much. light but still clotty, but shorter. I have to agree with the above it IS NERVEWRECKING. It wasn't until i kept on feeling the baby move that I felt okay with the period thing. God does this to shake them doctors up. ANSWER I am currently seven 7 a half months pregnant, had five negative pregnancy tests early on & period shows all through. I thought I was going completely mad until I felt movement. My GP refused to do a blood test so I am now waiting to have my baby & go back to her & say 'hey madam' I told you I was pregnant!!! So yes you can have period shows which usually are untypical of a normal period i.e. last less time & are lighter. My advice trust your own intuition & take no notice of Quacks!!!

If you have been trying to get pregnant and your period is due today how long should you wait to take a pregnancy test and should you wait a couple days or weeks to see if your period comes?

no you should take it as soon as possible There is no rush, but you would obviously like to know as soon as possible. Buy a double test. Use one test about 2 days after your missed period and if negative and your period still has not come leave it a week and then use the other.

Your pregnancy results show a faint linethen next day you observed a very light bleedingthe other other brand sHow is negative?

There are a few reasons for faint lines on an at-home pregnancy test. You could have taken the test too soon, your urine was diluted, you were using a sensitive test, or you experienced a chemical pregnancy. To ensure better clarity my suggestion is to buy a more expensive test that clearly reads "pregnant" or "not pregnant" or you could buy some other form of a digital test. That will help with any confusion that might occur with pregnancy tests that require you to read lines or dots that may appear faint.

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. . On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines, a recent pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy.

Is it possible to go a month without knowing your pregnant I just found out I am pregnant and I don't know when it happened and have no way to know how far along I am I see a DR in a month?

It is possible to have what appears to be a normal period when you already pregnant; so that can throw off your calculations. A doctor can estimate the date of conception based on the size and growth of the baby, but sometimes it is not as accurate as we'd like.

If the condom broke two days after your period ended and you felt cramping in your stomach and you took a test nine days later that was negative was it accurate or was it too soon for a test?

Most likely you were not fertile 2 days after your period, but you never know.. 9 days later was probably too early, you should wait until the day your period is due or after that to get a good accurate result.

Do you count the 5-7 days of conception with the 14 day waiting period to find out if your pregnant or do you just wait the 14 day after intercourse?

you usually ovulate 2 weeks after the day you start your period. if youre ttc, try to have sex at least every other day the week after your period then take a test 2 weeks later even if you have your period. you can still have your period and be pregnant
