Pregnancy Tests

YOU would be able to tell if you're pregnant from the first day you miss a period by buying a pregnancy test and using it according to instructions.

Until all the hormones are washed from your body, you can still show positive on an OTC pregnancy test. The earlier you miscarry the sooner the test will become negative as there are fewer hormones in the body.

well maybe this might be good news or bad news but you could. because i was a week late for my period i took 2 pregnancy test first and they both showed up as negative and i took another two the next week and the third one showed up negative and the 4th showed up positive!!!!!.

Home pregnancy tests are sensitive enough that they can detect a pregnancy as early as one week after fertilization. many home pregnancy kits are now more reliable and may be accurate as early as several days after a missed period. (If you usually have a regular cycle). Home pregnancy tests are most accurate about 27 days after conception. This is when a menstrual period is 10 -12 days late, although some tests do say they can be used as early as 2 days after a missed period. * Update: Some of the new pregnancy tests say you can use them one day after a missed period. If your cycle is not regular, wait another day to use it. (Or you might be wasting your money). Collect a good urine specimen. If the directions call for the use of a container, use a new or clean one. A washed-out bottle may interfere with the results. Most tests today provide a small disposable cup for you to use or you pee directly onto them. Perform the test in the morning when urine is the most concentrated. BUT, you can use them at any time of the day. (Refrain from the use of aspirin or marijuana the day before and the day of the test). Results can be one of two things: Positive. Almost always means pregnant. False positives (says pregnant when not) are very rare. Things that cause a false positive include marijuana, aspirin, hormones, birth control pills, methadone, tranquilizers, and soap or protein in urine. Negative. Usually means not pregnant. False negatives (says not pregnant when pregnant) are fairly common. This happens if it is too early in the pregnancy to make the results of the home test accurate. If you suspect you are pregnant even though a home pregnancy test is negative, you should have a pelvic exam by a GYN health care provider and blood test or repeat the urine test in a couple days. Remember, you can be pregnant and have no symptoms at all, except missing you period. If you have had sex without using birth control and are worried you might be pregnant, talk with a health care provider or with a counselor at your clinic.

I am pregnant, and I'm in my seventh week. I took the PG test a couple days ago because I had noticed that I was having PMS symptoms, but no bleeding. I would say that they start to feel tender at about 4-5 weeks.

You really need to see a doctor and find out what is going on. I am not a doctor, but I've had a lot of experience with situations like yours myself. I really don't think you are pregnant, but you could have some kind of infection. I don't mean STDs, but maybe a yeast infection or a urinary tract infection or something like that. If you don't have a regular doctor, the doctors at Planned Parenthood can diagnose you and usually they can give you medicine right there in the office and you don't even have to go to the pharmacy. This probably isn't a big deal at all, but if you don't get it taken care of it could get serious and probably quite painful.

It usually meens you are late its not much to worry about just keep a eye on it or visit your famly doctor. You may have taken the home test too early if you don't get your period in another week try another one and if you still havent gotten your period go to your doctor to see whats going on!!!

No matter what the doctors say, not everybody ovulates at the same time in their cycle. So you could have fallen pregnant at any time within the month. Right, so the years of research count for absolutuely nothing and the one woman in a hundred who don't ovulate to the usual pattern becomes the norm. If you have a regular 28 day cycle you most likely time for you to get pregnant was around 10th-12th March

Wait another week and take another test if still negative and still no period then get to your doctor ASAP so that they can perform a blood test which is more accurate than the at home test hope everything works out for you Good Luck and God Bless!!!

* missed menstrual period * nausea, with or without vomiting * food aversions or food cravings * fatigue * frequent urination * breast changes and breast tenderness * new sensitivity or feelings in your pelvic area * metallic taste in your mouth If you have one or more of these symptoms take an at home test or contact your doctor asap it is important that you find out if you are pregnant earlier on so that you can get prenatal care that helps you have a healthy pregnancy and baby...also if you don't want to keep the baby you have more options the earlier you find out!!!

Hello. The light bleeding your experiencing may simply be a unusually light period for you. But yes, you definitely could be pregnant. Wait a week and do another pregnancy test. Or see your doctor for a blood test now. Hello - You could be pregnant, yes. The light bleeding may be simply a light period for you but it could also be pregnancy bleeding. See your doctor for a blood test as this is more accurate. Good luck.

Hun I think you may have hemroids or something going on in your bowels, I would call your doctor and get that checked out especially if you are having anal sex. Usually you have constant need to urinate when pregnant. I would also wait before assuming you are pregnant sometimes periods will flucate due to many factors in your environment and life. But as for the blood and constant need to poop speak with your family doctor there could be more there causing problems and it could also be the reason you are not getting your montly!

No. The hormones the pregnancy test is reading are only produced from pregnancy. Hello. The only thing that can cause a pregnancy test to read positive is pregnancy itself or HCG containing medication. If your not on medication containing HCG - and you got a positive - you're pregnant. Congratulations. See your doctor for confirmation.

A second form when the egg is fertilized. The pregnancy test detects a hormone that is responsible when you are pregnant. you body starts producing it the moment you are pregnant.

You can know the pregnancy status before the due date of periods. It is expensive. There is no advantage to know it before ten days of missed periods.

Signs? You're cycling and have tested negative. Pretty much a closed case I think. If you're having some other problems, see a doctor.

Try for a year, instead of focusing in getting pregnant,try having fun, enjoy it,be playful and creative. surprise eachother, dont think about pleasing the other tell him loud what you like him to do,and how to do it. you said 10 months 4 days,you forgot to mention hours and minutes, just kidding. stressful situations are counter productive, affects women in mental and hormonal ways more than it does to men. personal experience i was so concentrated in having a baby for 4 yrs.I gave up i was ready to adopt a child. we had good, fun, sex. Without worring about children, next thing you know she goes to the doctor with an upset stomach, doctor does tests and says you are pregnant we did not belive it until 9 months later when we had a baby boy, two years later we have a baby girl.

You are pregnant! At three days late your body is not producing enough HGC to make the pregnancy test show a definite positive. Pregnancy tests rarely give false-positives. They may give you a negative answer and be wrong. But they rarely give you a positive (even if it is a faint positive) and be wrong. Taking the test again in a few days will show a darker line. Congratulations!

Home pregnancy tests measure the level of HCG in your urine. HCG is produced only after conception and doubles in strength every day during your first couple of months. Most tests will only begin to pick up the HCG at the time your period is due. It will be very faint as your levels are very low then. The line will become darker as the pregnancy pregresses. A very faint positive line will usually mean you are pregnant. This colour will darken if you take the test again in about a week's time.

Hello. Bleeding heavily for two consecutive weeks doesn't sound very hopeful sweetheart I'm afraid. But you will need a quantitative beta hcg blood test and a second test done 48 hours later, to see whether you are still pregnant. My fingers are crossed for you. Good luck.

The HCG level drops after 20 weeks when you start to feel the baby kick. Have you had an ultrasound scan because monthly bleeding during pregnancy is not normal?

If the last test was negative you need to repeat it in 7 days. If still negative then you are not pregnant. If you haven't had a period since April it is probably because it has not been exactly 28-35 days from your last period.

You might be pregnant and not showing positive yet, but most likely you are starting your period. I would consult a physician. Yes, it is possible. But don't freak out just yet. Wait and see if you have a normal period. There are several things that can come in conflict with your period (medications, birth control, stress, change in diet etc.). But just so you know... 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.

No. But the result may be fainter. Do another test.

It is possible you are around 6 weeks pregnant. You need to see your doctor for certain and to make sure the bleeding you experienced isn't caused by a miscarriage.
