Could you be pregnant if you are 10 days late for your period but a home pregnancy test was negative?

just wait give your body time sometimes when you have had sex often then your body has to adjust the menstrual cycle back and forth when you have sex did you know that every time you have sex that females your period get sets back so let's say you get your period on the second week of the month and you have sex three days before the normal time you have your period it will probably set itself back a week or two meaning it might come the first of next month or the end of this month and then it might repeat itself twice next month to catch itself just be patient stop flipping out stress can set it back too so just relax and stop worrying about the test came back negative you haven 't been throwing up so just calm down

How do you know for certain that you are pregnant without using a pregnancy test?

If the baby's heartbeat can be heard, (around 8 weeks with a doppler) or if fetal movements can be seen. 24 weeks. A scan can also confirm pregnancy from about the time of a missed period.

If you are a day late for your period and have some pregnancy symptoms can you take a pregnancy test any time of the day?

The best time to take it is with the first urine of the day as this is most concentrated and will have the most hormone in it.

Could you be pregnant if your period is 4 days late and you have taken 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative and is it too early to tell?

You can't rely 100% on pregnancy tests and it's best to be examined by a physician. It's highly unlikely you are pregnant. It is true that even when you first conceive some women can have a period or two. Stress or having sex more often than usual can certainly put off your periods from their regular schedule. Since you are asking this question you are either trying to get pregnant (don't try so hard and try relaxing more) or, you're risking getting pregnant when you don't want to be. If you are doing the latter it's time for you to use some method of birth control. If you are trying to get pregnant then thinking about it all the time and pushing yourself too hard to get pregnant can be more of a hinderence than if you relaxed, had some fun and got your mind off getting pregnant. Good luck either way Marcy

Is it normal to be 6 weeks pregnant and take 5 home tests and they all be negative but still be pregnant?

if you have been confirmed as pregnant by the doctor - it is still possible in these early stages of pregnancy for tests to come back negative, i would check with the doctor to be sure.

How many days does it take for pregnancy to be detected on a home kit?

Hello. The best time for a pregnancy test to be positive it usually when your period is late or three weeks after having unprotected sex. If you test too early the test will be negative even if you are pregnant. So test when your period is a few days late for a more accurate result. # Implantation usually occurs about 5-7 days after conception but can occur later. 5-7 days is an average. Testing before then will give you a negative test. You will not get a positive until implantation occurs since you don't secret HcG until then. # Your most fertile period usually the day before ovulation (since you can't pinpoint the exact moment). Paying attention to cervical mucus can help. As you gear up to ovulate you will notice egg white cervical fluid. Afterwards, it dries up quickly. If you had intercourse around the time of fertile quality cm you can test 18 days after the act of intercourse. # For a better way of knowing, check out the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Tony Weschler. She explains fertility and how to pay attention (and therefore maximize conception chances) in order to figure out if you are ovulating. According to the ClearBlue pregnancy test accuracy results they are: 4 days before expected period= 51% accurate

3 days before expected period= 82% accurate

2 days before expected period= 90% accurate

1 day before expected period =95% accurate

the day of expected period =99% accurate If you don't want to do all that (and I recommend it just for the basic knowledge it gives you!) you can test 18 days after an act of intercourse. Good luck!

How soon can a home pregnancy test detect pregnancy after intercourse?

Assuming you had intercourse during ovulation then the soonest you could test positive would be 7 days. However, it's almost impossible to get a result that early. It takes 6 - 12 days for the fertilized egg to travel down the fallopian tubes and implant in the uterus. Your body doesn't start producing hCG (the pregnancy hormone) until implantation has occured. Keeping this in mind you will get more accurate results if you wait 2 weeks after intercourse to test.

What brand of pregnancy test is the most reliable?

The most reliable brand of pregnancy test that I know of is "Accu-test".

Is it normal to have missed 2 consecutive periods when changing from Yasmin birth control to Loestrin fe 120 and 5 pregnancy tests were negative and 1 was positive?

Hello - It can be normal in some women yes. But Im more concerned about the positive pregnancy test. A test will only show positive when HCG has been found in your urine and this hormone is only found during pregnancy. Because of this you really need to stop taking birth control and see your doctor for confirmation. Until then have your partner wear a condom during intercourse. Take care.

When is the soonest you can find out if you're pregnant and can you get a test before your next period?

Pregnency tests work after two weeks however you must also remember that they are not always accurate and the best way to know is to ask your doctor. Also if you are pregnant your period will not come.

Should someone be alarmed if their pregnancy test came up negative but they have not had their period in one month and thirteen days?

I would def take more tests if I were you and do it at a clinic. The home pregnancy tests can give a false negative but not a false positive.

How far in advance before a missed period can you take a pregnancy test?

Some pregnancy test you can take 5 days before your missed period but you might just want to wait a month after you missed it to see if it comes instead of wasting your money on one right now.

How accurate is a clear blue pregnancy test and is clear blue known for false negatives?

clear Blue is a fairly accurate test as it measures quite a small amount of the pregnancy hormone. any pregnancy test can give a false negative if done too early. But as it measures a small amount of hormone it should give very few after a missed period.

How long after a missed period can you take a pregnancy test?

from the day after you realise its missed, to the next 3 weeks in the cycle...

When can a blood test pick up on pregnancy?

When you skip a period and your doctor sends you to get blood work it usually picks up HCG at that point....

Does a faint line on 4 x home pregnancy tests which have not increased that much in darkness over 2 days indicate likely impending miscarriage due to low levels of HCG?

No - a faint line means there is not much HCG in your body. HCG levels double each day. A faint line means you are very early in your pregnancy. Retesting only one day later is not going to make much difference. If it is still faint in a weeks time, this means you are not increasing your HCG and your pregnancy will probably not continue. Hold off and try the test again in a couple of days.

Can you have a negative urine test at the doctor's but still have a positive blood test and be pregnant?

Blood tests are more accurate than urine tests.

Yes urine tests are no tth emost accurate form of pregnancy tests....although they are fairly accurate most of the time they can give out false negatives because you took the test too early ( before you skipped your period) or you took it too late in the day also the lower HCG level it is made to detect the better the blood test provides an exact count of HCG in your blood which is what determines pregnancy or not so yes you are pregnant CONGRATULATIONS good luck and God Bless!!!

What is the right time to take a pregnancy test if you are on the contraceptive pill?

first thing in the morning 2 weeks after missed period If you are on a combined pill you should not miss a period and you should not be pregnant if you are taking it correctly. If you are on a progesterone only pill your periods may not be regular so if you think you may be pregnant wait at least 2 weeks after sex.
