How soon can a pregnancy test dectect your pregnant?

When I got pregnant with my daughter, my husband and I had only been trying for a few weeks. I got curious and took an HPT before I missed my period. It was positive. So, in that case anyways it was only a matter of maybe 1 week since I took the test about a week before my period was supposed to begin. Right now though, we are not trying to have another child, and I have missed my period by about 2 weeks and I have had dull uterine cramps and have been feeling really tired, just like I felt during my first pregnancy... But I have taken 2 HPT's and both were negative. I still think I might be though. So I guess each pregnancy is different for each woman. I would suggest going to your doctor and having a blood test done. That can tell you yes or no even before the HPT can! Good luck!

How does one get a copy of lost paternity test results?

Paternity Testing can be done in the comfort of your home. You can order a blood DNA test kit or buccal (cheek swab DNA) test kit for a very small cost. The kit comes to your home and you do the minor process to get the sample. Once the sample is gathered, send it the lab and results are returned within 5 to 7 days!

What is considered first morning urine?

Assuming you slept all night, when you get up in the morning, you test the urine you produce at that time. The idea is that it's more concentrated because it's been sitting in your bladder for several hours.

Can Fluoxetine show a false positive in pregnancy tests?

The only medications that can cause a false positive on a home pregnancy test are those than contain hCG (the hormone the test is measuring) itself. If you are taking fertility medications with hCG - e.g. Novarel, Profasi, Pregnyl - please consult your doctor regarding appropriate times and circumstances for testing. Other fertility drugs and medications that do not contain hCG will not precipitate false positive results. Similarly, progesterone will not cause a false positive as well. I looked up that drug "Fluconazole" and I don't believe that it contains hCG since it is an antifungal drug and does not seem to have any hormones in it, but you can call your doctor to find out for sure.

Is it possible to be 3 or 4 weeks pregnant and hcg levels still be too low for home pregnancy tests to read?

No- beta hCG is a required hormone for pregnancy; if the embryo does not produce it, your period will come as if there had been no conception. That is part of why pregnancy tests are so accurate, because the hormone has to be there, if it isn't, you cannot be pregnant.

What do a positive quickvue test result look like?

  • Perform the Quickvue pregnancy test as directed. Place at least three drops of urine on the test strip to achieve a result.
  • Wait three minutes for result of test. The results can begin to show before the three-minute period. Readings taken after three minutes may not be accurate. For example, if your test is positive at three minutes and you leave the test sitting out, it may indicate a negative result after ten minutes. The reading at the three-minute mark is the correct reading.
  • Interpret the results as positive if you see a pinkish to purple line next to the letter T in the results window and you find a blue line next to the letter C in the results window. Two separate lines should appear to confirm you are pregnant.
  • Find a negative result if a blue line appears next to the letter C and no line appears next to the letter T in the results window. If this result occurs, it is unlikely that you are pregnant.
  • Receive an inconclusive result if the blue control line does not appear next to the letter C. You should retake the test using a different test kit.

Is missed period have a meaning of pregnancy?

No, a missed period is not complete confirmation of pregnancy.

You should see a doctor, or at the least use a home pregnancy test.

What does an inconclusive pregnancy blood test mean and could you still be pregnant?

A pregnancy blood test shows the level of the hormone HCG in the blood. There is quite a wide variation of normal in non-pregnant women so an early test may come into the 'high normal' range which would be 'inconclusive'. A second test a few days later showing a significant increase would be 'conclusive'. Peeing on a stick is much cheaper and just as accurate, and you are the first to know the result.

Can marijuana give false positive pregnancy tests?

It shouldn't THC (the psychoactive chemical in marijuana) works by mimicking neurotransmitters in your brain. It is broken down into metabolites and remains in the blood for days to weeks, depending how often marijuana is used. Home pregnancy tests test for human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a hormone released once implantation of the egg occurs. I see no reason as to why THC metabolites would affect a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests have also been known to give false positives too, so taking two is always a good idea.

If your hcg level drops within a couple of days does that definitely mean you miscarried?

Taking a pregnancy test a few days after your expected missed period will give you more accurate results.

You are eight days late for your period have no PMS symptoms but had a negative pregnancy test yesterday Could you still possibly be pregnant?

Yes, it is possible....BUT not likely. Chances are that other factors are contributing to your late cycle such as stress or anxiety...or it is simply off balance for whatever reason. USUALLY a negative pregnancy test should be trusted. However, you know your body better than anyone and if you think you may be pregnant then you need consult a doctor!!! It is always possible!

How early can you get pregnant?

Generally speaking, about 14 days after your period--if your period starts every 28 days. Of course, all women are not the same. Some periods are longer than 28 days; some are shorter.

If your cervix is open can you still be pregnant?

Your cervix opens and closes slightly throughout the month, and you cannot do anything to stop it or help it. You can get pregnant at any time that you do not use birth control and that sperm are present. You cervix is a few inches inside of your vagina, and if you are lying on your back, it is 'above' your fingers inside of you. Perhaps you mean if you open your vagina? You actually need sperm present from a male to become impregnated. You cannot become pregnant without a male's sperm present in your vagina. But it only takes a single sperm, so if a male has touched his penis, and then touches your vagina, then it is POSSIBLE to get pregnant.

Can you find out if you are pregnant 5 days after intercourse?

You can try emergency contraceptives like Plan-B. They should be taken no later than 72 hours after having unprotected sex or a birth control failure. They can be obtained at most pharmacies or though your dr or women's clinic. This however will not end a pregnancy if it has already begun.

In the future you should always use a condom and/or a reliable form of birth control.

If you have intercourse a week and a half before your period is supposed to come how long should you wait to take a pregnancy test?

Depends on how regular your periods are and whether or not you think you are having any other symptoms of pregnancy. If you usually have very regular periods, and it's at least a week late, then it can't hurt to take a test to ease your mind. If it comes out negative but after another few weeks you still haven't really had your period or you're showing other possible signs of pregnancy, try going and having a test done at a clinic.

Who we can check if you are pregnant or not?

Go see a obgyn to take a pregnancytest. The hometests aren't always right.

Can you be pregnant with 12 negative pregnancy tests and still no period and having no symptoms other than feeling bloated?

Yes sometimes the home pregnancy tests aren't the best. you should have a blood test to test your hcg levels in your body Home pregnancy tests are very accurate but they do need a high enough level of hormone to work. Leave it for a week after your missed period. It is still possible, depending on when you took the HPT. If you still don't have your period in a couple of more days, try it again. If still neg, then you should wait at least 2 weeks and call your dr. Yes, you could be pregnant. Its possible you tested too early. But to be certain, see your doctor for a pregnancy blood test which is highly accurate.

Can strange fluttering in lower abdomen be a symptom of pregnancy before you miss your period?

It is possible. The fluttering, however, would not be fetal movement...that is not detectable until about 16-22 weeks of pregnancy. The funny feeling in your abdomen could be stretching of the uterus...but that would feel more like cramps, stretching, or twinges. I know it feels like forever when you are wondering if you are pregnant, but the only way to really tell is wait until your expected period and if you do not get it then take a home pregnancy test.

What do you mean by objectivity of test?

Objectivity means neutrality. You are not trying to get a certain result.

What do you do if pregnancy tests give different results?

Usually different results from pregnancy tests come from using the test too early. Taking the test too soon will cause a test to read a false negative. Some HPT are more sensitive than others, they will read positive sooner than a less sensitive test. False negative results are very common from using the test too early, false positive is almost unheard of unless the test kit was damaged somehow. Always check the kit before using it, including the expiration date and follow directions.
