How do you know that sperm penetrated after intercourse?

You can ask from your partner that if he ejaculate during sex.

or you can go to doctor for checkup.

What hormone is found in the woman urine that confirms she is pregnant?

Name of that hormone is Human chorionic gonadotropin. It is secreted by the placenta. It becomes positive in most patients after 8 to 10 days after the missed period. The morning urine is usually concentrated and likely to give the positive results earlier.

How long do you have to wait before you can pee after sex and when you r trying to conceive?

When I tried to get pregnant...after sex I would prop my legs up and lay in bed for at least 10 minutes (pregnant now, after only one month of trying!). Hey and those ovulation sticks are pretty good too, you can get them at a drug store! Good luck! Try going to the bathroom before sex. After sexual intercourse it is advisable for a woman to lay on her back, you may even want to put a pillow under your bum to elevate the body, for at least 30 - 45mins. Going to the bathroom immediately after sex will cause the sperm to swim the opposite direction.

How soon after conceiving will you feel symptoms or signs of being pregnant?

Some women believe they know it right away. Others say they start to feel symptoms within the first few weeks. The most reliable symptom is missing your period. If you are more than a few days late for your period, take a pregnancy test.

How soon after intercourse is a pregnancy test accurate?

I was totally impatient too. My doctor said that a blood test would show positive 10 days after conception, and I was dying to know so I went in 10 days after my blue line. The test was negative, I cried and cried, wanted to die for awhile, accepted it, and looked forward to the next month. Then two weeks went by - no period. I was frustrated, figured I'd have to take Provera to bring it on or something. I did a home pregnancy test for the hell of it, and lo and behold it was positive! So I jumped the gun. I would recommend that you not take a blood test until you are pretty sure it's 10 days after ovulation. What happened to me was an emotional roller coaster! I also tested negative on a blood test, approx. 10 days after conception. I still had a hunch that I could be pregnant, even though everyone else tried to convince me that the tests don't fail. It turns out that maternal instict is stronger and I was indeed pregnant. Believe in yourself and your instincts. My doctor told me that a blood test could test for hcg 3 days after conception. I went into the doctor's office for a bladder infection. He asked me if there was any possibility I could be pregnant because if so then my presciption would change. I wasn't sure so he tested me anyways. It came back negative. A month later I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant, meaning that I was two weeks pregnant at the time of the test. So they aren't always right.

I got a positive on my home pregnancy test 9 days after ovulation. I went to get a blood test and it was negative. I have since gotten 5 days of consecutive positive results on 3 different brands of home pregnancy tests.

Depending on what test the doctor uses will depend on the sensitivity. A qualitative test is a basic test ran at most labs and it only gives you a yes or no answer if your pregnant. This test is not as sensitive as most home pregnancy tests are, and it is suggested you wait about a week after your missed period to take it. A quantitative test measures the exact amount of hCG in your system and that can give you results as early as three days after conception, but most doctors will not run this unless you request it, or in the case of a suspected miscarriage.

My doctor told me that I probably tested too early and that I should wait a week after my missed period. Until then I will continue to test each morning, but in the past 5 days the results have gotten stronger and stronger. I don't think there's really a doubt that I am, cannot imagine getting like 15 false positives on three brands.

Is it still possible to be pregnant after having my period and a negative pregnancy test?

No, not really. Very, very few women don't produce the pregnancy hormone until later in pregnancy or at all, but it's very rare. Maybe like 1% of the population. Odds are, you aren't pregnant. If you're doctor said you weren't, go with that. actually yes it is possiable to be pregnant even after a neg. blood test if you feel that you are even after a neg blood test wait about a week and go get another one and see what it says. this has happened to me before and maybe happing to me again right now I am 3 weeks late and several test say no. but all signs are there. I have 3 kids and with one it took up to 2 months before urine test would pick up , with 2nd it took blood work and with the 3rd it took a ultra sound so everyone is different and so is every pregnancy if you feel you are chances are then you are just treat yourselfas if you were and see what happens, another example, my sister, she took 13 hpt with her first child all neg blood test said pos. she is now pregnant again, she again went through the hpt (why I do not know) and even blood work all neg she even had her period for 2 to 3 months the month she missed she had blood drawn again and when they did the ultra sound boy were the docs surprised she is 4 1/2 months pregnant the ultra sound was done about 1 to 2 weeks after she got a positive result on blood work. hope this help

How accurate is the pregnancy calendar for calculating your day of conception?

Could you be pregnant if a home pregnancy test was positive but on a blood test your hcg was 2 and the nurse said you were not pregnant?

Hello. Do you mean QUANTITATIVE or QUALIATIVE? If it was a qualifiative then you can definitely still be pregnant. If it was a quantitative then chances are you aren't pregnant hun and the HPTs were faulty or you had a early miscarriage. Im very sorry if you had a miscarriage. Hoever, I would get a retest done to find out. Blood test I mean. :-)

How can a xray affect pregnancy?

Answer Yes, but it is not good for the baby to have an x-ray done unless it's an absolute medical necessity. - This is only true after a few months when the baby starts developing bones.

The earlier in the pregnancy the more dangerous an x-ray would be to a fetus. In the first 10 days it's most likely to kill the fetus. After the first trimester the risks of serious harm decrease but that doesn't mean it's safe. All radiation exposure is particularly harmful to a developing baby.

What does it mean if a pregnancy test comes back possitve for a man?

The only time a male would have a positive pregnancy test would be if he had some type of cancerous tumor. Pregnancy tests test for elevated amounts of human chorionic gonadotropin, and when the levels are high enough, they will produce a positive result. Malignant tumors of the lungs, GI tract, adrenal cortex, kidndey, bladder, testes and prostate produce HCG, so therefore, a positive pregnancy test would indicate some sort of HCG producing tumor.

What does positive mean on a pregnancy test?

What causes Beta HCG Levels to rise?

Being pregnant causes HGC to be in your body. If you want more detail than that; it's a hormone that your body produces when you are pregnant. That is what home pregnancy tests detect. If you have HGC in your urine, you are pregnant.

P.S. its actually HCG... if you'd like info on HGC, please go to this wikipedia link:

Can you be pregnant if you took a 10 days early pregnancy test and is positive?

if there is any kind of 2nd line at all i mean barely hard to see faint, it most likely is pregnant, you may just have a high hormone level. the second line is reading some kind of hormone from the placenta, just to make sure though, take another hpt in a couple of days and then if its still positive then to make double sure go take a blood test

answerI agree with the above answer on taking a second test but if that is positive too why waste money on a blood test? it is unnecessary.

If you are pregnant and you get scared can that affect your pregnancy?

well if you find out that you are pregnant and start to become extremely terrified...it sort of can affect your pregnancy. For example when a person is sad that usually leads to depression and anxiety. That would affect the pregnancy because it is not a healthy state for a young baby to be in ;)

What are the uses of leopolds maneuver?

The first step is feeling the top of the uterus or fundus. This is done to find out what end of the fetus is in the upper part of the uterus. The second step is applying firm pressure to the sides of the abdomen to check where the spine and extremities are. The third step is grasping the lower abdomen using the thumb and fingers to see if the presenting part is engaged. Lastly, deep pressure is applied in the direction of the axis of the pelvic outlet to establish cephalic prominence.

How can you tell when your pregnant without throwing up?

You will NOT throw up the next morning after having sex. It takes 7 days for the Embryo to implant in your uterus and start releasing the pregnancy hormone HCG. Once this hormone is being released the pregnancy symptoms will start. Pregnancy symptoms are: Missed period. Extra vaginal discharge. Feeling or being sick. Headaches. Tiredness. Excessive urination. Dizzy spells. Bloatedness or extra wind. Heartburn. Spotting bleeding. Abdominal cramps. A woman may have all or none of these symptoms (except missing a period). If you think you may be pregnant take a test when you miss a period. Spotting bleeding is NOT a sign of pregnancy. It is always abnormal whether pregnant or not. It is not unusual, there are various causes, but it is not normal.

How do you check pregnancy?

There are many over the counter pregnancy tests offered such as EPT or FirstResponse. Each claim a similar success rate of 99 to 99.9% accuracy. These tests, however, are not the final say. The doctor's office has more accurate ways of testing a woman for pregnancy and can confirm a pregnancy in the most reliable sense.

Can phentermine cause a false positive result for home pregnancy test?

If you had a miscarriage a month and a day ago could a positive pregnancy test still be picking the chemical that detects that you're pregnant or could you really be pregnant?

There are three possibilities: 1. The miscarriage you had has not been completely removed from the body. Did you have a D&C? This procedure scrapes all pregnancy tissue from the body. Sometimes the body doesn't rid itself of this tissue and continues to believe you are pregnant (which is why a test would be positive). 2. It is possible that you have become pregnant again without a period. A period follows ovulation when the egg is not fertilised. Therefore you could've possibly fallen pregnant on the first ovulation. 3. The third possibility is that you were carrying twins when you miscarried. If this was the case, some people find they miscarry one twin, but keep the other. The only way to know for sure is with an ultrasound. You need to have your doctor have a look to see if there is a baby there or not, and if there is, what gestation age is it?

Can you get a negative pregnancy test your entire pregnancy?

It is possible but not likely. There could be a few possibilities. It was not a very accurate test. You did not do it right. Or it could be a little to early for the particular test you took, and the hormones are not in your urine. A store bought pregnancy test will not defintely tell you if you are pregnant in the early months only a trained professional can.

Can you get a paternity test while father is incarcerated?

Only two samples are needed, from the father and child. As it involves a prison, it may require a court order, but contact administration about permission to bring in a testing kit for doing a sampling in the medical ward.

Why home pregnancy test result is blank?

Go buy a new one, take the test again. That test must be messed up.
