Does breastfeeding effect the results of a pregnancy test?
No. Not breast feeding. But after giving birth it can take a while for your HCG level (the pregnancy hormone measured in pregnancy tests) to return to 0. Taking a pregnancy test less than 8 weeks after giving birth is frequently positive. Check with your doctor if you are concerned. They can do a blood test to determine what the level is and then by repeating the test in a week will help them determine the trend. Upward, most likely, pregnant. Downward doesn't necessarily mean not pregnant. Verify until HCG returns to 0 or ultrasound to find a fetus.
While progesterone stays at a high level what happens to the lining of the uterus?
it continues to thicken, but growth of the endometrian cells stop
How many days can you do a pregnancy test?
i was thinking that myself, look this is what i found out.. There are two types of blood tests you can get from a health care provider. A quantitative blood test (or the beta hCG test) measures the exact amount of hCG in the blood. This means it can pick up very small amounts of hCG, making it a very accurate test. A qualitative hCG blood test gives a simple yes or no answer to whether you are pregnant. This test is more like a urine test in terms of its accuracy.
Blood tests can pick up hCG earlier in a pregnancy than urine tests can. Blood tests can tell if you are pregnant about 6 to 8 days after you ovulate (or release an egg from an ovary). Urine tests can determine pregnancy about 2 weeks after ovulation. Some more sensitive urine tests can tell if you are pregnant as early as 6 days after you conceive, or one day after you miss a menstrual period.
If your hcg level is 12 how far along am you?
try www.craigmedical.com they have a chart with this information.
If you are actually feeling movement in your belly, then you would be quite far along in your pregnancy. I've heard that it's possible for some women to test negative far into their pregnancy, so if you are not sure, go to your doctor. If you're that far along, you need to care for yourself and the baby. But if you're that far along, you would probably have a lot of other symptoms and would be starting to show as well.
How will it take to get pregnant after a tubal pregnancy?
No, in a tubal ligation, the doctor puts a tiny clip on each fallopian tube. This procedure essentially blocks the path of the egg to the uterus. The inside of a fallopian tube is small, literally just a few hair's widths in diameter, to begin with so the likelyhood that a woman would get pregnant "easily" after a tubal ligation is slim, although not impossible.
You are 10 days late for your period and have taken a home pregnancy test Could you be pregnant?
Look at it this way, you could be pregnant if you've had unprotected sex, or if you've had protected sex. Some women become pregnant on the pill, not often, but it has been claimed to have happened.
Which pregnancy test detects sooner?
First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test I used an EPT test four days before I expected my period, and there was a very dark cross stating I was pregnant. I used the First Response one day later and it was negative, then I tried the First Response again on the 4th day, (one day before my period) and it was positive. I prefer the EPT.
Whats the earliest a pregnancy will show up on a HPT?
you can get a blood test within 7 to 10 days after fertilization--good luck
Can you detect pregnancy at 1 week?
No, usually it takes around 10 days for implantation of the fertilized egg into the wall of the uterus, and pregnancy can not be determined until after implantation has occured. For most accurate and quicker results you can get a blood test from your doctor.
How often should you take a pregnancy test after getting a negative?
If you have a negative pregnancy test and you feel that you still could be pregnant you should wait 24-48 hours then test again. Home pregnancy tests are most reliable when used 14-16 days after ovulation and when used with the first urine of the day.
Would an HPT be accurate if taken 6 days after conception?
That is very early to test but if you do get a pos. it would be VERY VERY faint. I would wait & take another early hpt when your period is due. If you got a neg. it could be wrong cause it is too early to test & false neg. are more common than false pos. no no no no no no!!!
Why would you have a false positive 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 or a chemical pregnancy.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 1-2 days 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 * wait for the results!

Can you be pregnant with 3 positive urine tests but hormone blood level of 3?
i don't think so but maybe.
HCG is the hormone human chronic gonadotropin, which is produced by placental cells during pregnancy.
Yes, you can be pregnant with an HCG level at 3. Typically, below 5 is negative and above 25 is positive. It can be this low in the first week or two of pregnancy. Some women have lower HCG levels during pregnancy than are typical. Ectopic pregnancies can result in low HCG levels. It can also indicate a problem with the pregnancy. It is best to have at least two HCG readings a couple days apart, if you are relying on HCG levels. If you think you should be 5 or more weeks pregnant but have low HCG levels, it would be a good idea to double-check with an ultrasound.
When I was pregnant both of my OB doctors told me that you can get a false negative but that you will not see false positives because they are testing for a hormone that is ONLY present when you are pregnant. So if a test says that you are pregnant you need to see an OB
Clear Blue digital gives false positives every now and then. I got one positive with it, then negative blood, other test negative. If you rip open the test you might see it's negative inside. (with the lines). Amazon reviews warn about people getting false positives with this one.
How long can you keep urine in room temperature before home pregnancy test?
I´d use fresh urine as the hormones may have dwindled and the test may not be reliable now.
How long do you have to know if you are pregnant?
it could take up to 2 months to know weather you are pregnant or not..or if you miss your expected period then your most likey pregnant..but your period could be just a few days late so wait a week and still nothing i would say your pregnant
Yes. From the moment of conception, it takes 6-12 days for the embryo to travel down and implant into your uterus. During this time, no HCG is being excreted into your blood or urine. When the embryo is fully implanted in the uterus, you will then start producing the HCG. It takes another 2-3 days to build up enough to show up in early pregnancy test. Sometimes it may take longer. IF you test and you get a negative result, test again in 2 days. In a normal pregnancy, HCG doubles every 24-48 hours.
YES! The blood test may have been performed too early, especially if the line on the home test is very faint. You should have the blood test repeated, but as a rule a positive test (either blood or urine) is positive
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.
If my rabbit is bleeding could she be having a miscarriage?
Yes, rabbits can miscarry. You need to take your rabbit to a vet as soon as possible to make sure there are not kits left stuck inside and to make sure she is ok.
What does it mean if your HCG levels are 283 at 5 weeks?
It is right at the top end of the normal range. It may mean several things. A scan will show you. you could be having multiples!!! Although I am the same number of weeks with 9313 hcg and I only have a singleton
How much is a home paternity test?
The average I used to see for a decent, but cheap pregnancy test was eight dollars. However, when I go in that aisle at a drug store, I'm surprised to see the prices raised. The new average is approximately $12.
