Pregnancy Tests

not a chance unless there is some RARE blood type of one man that is affecting your pregnancy... then doctor will do a test by injecting your belly for a blood sample from baby in that case ONLY.

Blood grouping and tissue typing has been around for 40 years or more so in 1990 it was as accurate as now. The thing is it tells you who cannot be the father, not who IS. If it is between two men and one CANNOT be the father it has to be the other one. DNA testing is more accurate especially if the two putative fathers are related.

I called the lab at the hospital near me who does these bvlood test the person Ispoke with told me that if you take a blod test to early it will show up neg. you need to wait at least 1 week past when you were expected to start ovualation, it will not show a pos. if you are until implantation has taken place so if you chart your cycles and know when you ovulate then you can have one done with pretty much accrute results 7-10 days after that.sometimes sooner but for best results 7-10days

When a human female is pregnant, she starts to generate a hormone called hCG (human choriogonadotropin). It is specific to a pregnant female as it is made in the placenta, and it is excreted in the urine. Most labs will run an hCG test on all urine samples as part of the standard urinalysis.

your most likely pregnant. you should see a doctor.

if you already knew you were pregnant, than its normal. HCG levels will tend to double regularly and peaks at 8-11 weeks. again, you might want to see a doctor if the doubling occurs quickly, because it may mean you have multiples (twins).

Sure..but.. if you had a regular period for your last period (in other words, you don't think you were pregnant last cycle) then you need to wait until it's close to when your period is due (a few days) in order to get a good result, in all reality you are most likely to get your best result on the day your period is due. ~pawsalmighty

i think you could be pregnant bcoz of sticky fluids. you should definitely go to a doctor and get a blood test. bcoz this happened to me (apart from the fluids, i had gotten bigger and had symptoms) and it freaked me out until i went to the doctor and it was confirmed i wasn't pregnant. u can go to a free anonymous clinic, the only catch in those clinics is that u need to wait for a long time but its worth it.

a home pregnancy test is calculated through a certain amount of hormone that builds up in ur urine. so if u want to take another home pregnancy test, wait for four hours before eliminating any urine so that if u r pregnant, the hormone is given time to build up in ur urine and therefore u will have a more accurate answer from the home pregnancy test!

ive done a lot of research on this bcoz i worried in the past about being pregnant and only today got my period so thank god! but if u r trying for a baby GOOD LUCK =]

Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a 35 mcg tricyclic pill that's available in generic form.

The same thing happend to me and I was told I was going to miscarry and I had a DNC.

It depends on the test. Some have the little lines so you can see them, so just draw a double line the same color. The new electronic pregnancy tests, such as ClearBlue digital are much easier to fake, due to the fact that the ink doesn't show. Simply open the end opposite the strip, draw two lines where the sensors are, close it, then wet the other end with water and Voila! I would only suggest this as a short time prank...

Hi I took a e.p.t like a lil over a week before my period was even due,it was the + or - kind.Well I looked at it after 10 minutes and it still was -.I looked at it again 30 or 35 minutes later and it showed a faint +.It wasnt so faint you couldn't see it,it was definatly a +.I didnt know if I should trust that result (took it 1/15/05) so I went to the doctor 1/19/05and surley it came out a bright pink line.I am 6 weeks now.So its always good that any faint line should be checked into.I hope I helped.

On the box of the test it usually tells you not to read your answer after 10 minutes. You should read your answer with in the first 3 minutes after you get a confirmation in the results window.

Yes.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. . 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, a recent pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy. Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include missed period, tender/swollen breasts, change in color of the breasts, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, increased sense of smell, and weight gain.

In some cases it will. There may be some levels of HCG in your blood after the miscarriage which are being picked up on the PT. If this persists see your doctor. Good Luck to you. yes i had one before..it takes awhile for your body to heal yes i had one before..it takes awhile for your body to heal

Hormonal birth control (such as the pill) does not affect the accuracy of blood or urine pregnancy tests. Pregnancy tests measure a hormone (hCG) only present in 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 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

While it depends upon the sensitivity of the specific test, most home urine pregnancy tests (sensitive to 25 mIU) will turn positive about 13-16 days after conception. If you were not on oral contraceptives, this would mean about the time of the first missed menses. When you are on oral contraceptives, ovulation could have occurred at more irregular times so that all you can say is if the pregnancy test is negative, you are either not pregnant or are less than about 14 days pregnant from ovulation.

neurontin does not show up in a drug test i have took alot of drug tests and it dont show up in urine or at the lab

Yes nuerontin can show up on a lab but it has to be a DAR and is prett expensive.

Pregnancy test timing is measured from the time of a missed period. Some promise as much as 5 days before the missed period. That's about 7 days past ovulation - but if you're not using a basal thermometer to determine when you ovulated, menstruation is the best calibration point for your cycle.

Yes if it is on you or on the person you think is the father. No if it is on the unborn baby. Technically it is possible in extreme cases if the life and health of the unborn baby is in danger, but no doctor will do it just to see who the baby's father is until the baby has been born.

Yes, especially if you were very early along. An early miscarriage (up to 7 or 8 weeks) would come on and just feel and look like a period with cramps etc.

Somewhere around 25 - 30% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. And of those 40% are when the women did not even realize they were pregnant.

It depends. I know this is likely not what someone who is hoping to be pregnant after a miscarriage wants to hear but there isn't a definitive answer since it depends when the miscarriage happened (how far along was the woman?) and also how long it takes for the hCG (the pregnancy hormone detected by pregnancy tests) to leave her system.

If a woman is wondering if a positive test is indicating the hormones left by a miscarriage or is a sign of a new pregnancy, she should go to her doctor or midwife for a quantitative (not qualitative) blood test or an ultrasound. A quantitative blood test will measure how much hCG is in her system while a qualitative blood test will do the same thing a urine test does -- say whether or not there is any hormone there. An ultrasound will examen the contents of the uterus to see if there is an embryonic sac or missed particles from the miscarriage.

Don't wait because with eratic periods you could go a very long time without knowing your pregnant, And you need to get prenatal care and get on prenatal vitamins. It can be especially dangerous not knowing if you're pregnant if you drink or do drugs. Even if you don't do it heavily, the begining stages of pregnancy are the most crucial. So if you suspect it, take it seriously.

Your home pregnancy test will usually not display a positive result until a day or two after your expected period (not a large enough hormone level in your body to be detected). You may just be stressing yourself out (that is why you are not sleeping/depressed). Best of luck to you.

With my first pregnancy I took a hpt 3 days after my period was suposed to come and it was positive, but with this pregnancy the hpt's didn't show up positive until my SECOND period was a week late. Everyone is different. :)

Some home tests you can take a few days before you are supposed to start your period. I don't know what kinds, but if you read the box, it will tell you when you can take it. Or you can go to the doctor and they can give you a blood test. These can determine pregnancy much sooner than a urine test.

Inside the package is the actual testing device. It will come with directions but the basics are:

1) Take the protective cover off

2) Sit on the toilet and begin to urinate

3) Place the uncovered end of the test into the stream of urine. It is not necessary to completely saturate the test.

4) Wait for the result. Different tests take differing amounts of time and have different types of indications to indicate a positive or negative test (some show 1 or 2 lines, some use a + or a - etc.)

Remember that at-home pregnancy tests have differing lengths of time you have to be pregnant before they will detect a pregnancy. The only sure way to tell if you are pregnant is to go see a health-care provider. There are many women's clinics that exist to help out with whatever health services you may need.

== == Yes, but it might not give you an accurate answer. It is always safest to wait until your period is late to test. However, implantation typically occurs between 7-10 after conception. The pregnancy hormone, hCG, can theoretically show up on some early home pregnancy tests as early as 10 days after conception. Assuming that you conceived on the day you had intercourse, some pregnancy tests could show a positive 11 days later. If you think you might be pregnant, but get a negative at 11 dpo, I would advise you take another test the day after your period is due or see your doctor for a blood test. If you want to test before your period is due, be sure you get a test that detects very low levels of hCG (around 20 or 25 mIU).
