Early Symptoms Of Pregnancy And Testing
A missed period is often the first sign for some women that they may be pregnant, but there are earlier ones if you know what to look for for some women. These early pregnancy signs are not always the same from woman to woman, for example one pay complain of sickness whereas another may have some bloating, or a third may have both plus a tightening across the stomach.
The earliest time you should really take a pregnancy test is 2 weeks after conception as there is not enough hCG in the body to detect otherwise, even using a sensitive home pregnancy test designed to be used for early testing, before a missed period. But by testing earlier you are losing some of the accuracy – the highest accuracy per cent sensitive tests give if you test before a missed period is 90%. So if you get a negative result you may still want to wait and see if you get your period. If you do not, you need to retest again.
There are early signs your body may be giving off of a pregnancy that you can watch for such as: Feeling fatigued. Vomiting (not just in the morning). Light spotting (3-12 days after ovulating). As mentioned, bloating. Blue veins on your breasts, some swelling and a feeling of tenderness. Frequent visits to the bathroom. Food cravings.
Symptoms change from woman to woman, and in some are severe, and in others do not appear at all. Some woman start noticing signs within just a few days of being pregnant, and others may have to wait a few weeks. Every woman’s body is different and how the changing hormones and rising hCG levels affect it changes too.
Home pregnancy tests can give you the answer to your question am I really pregnant. They are easy to use but you do need to follow the instructions carefully, whether using a test strip as you pee, or peeing in a cup and then sitting it in the urine. Test are not all the same, some are digital, some are more sensitive, so choose carefully. However they do all work the same way, looking for hCG in your urine. If you are confident about the result even after a re-test, see your doctor and they can either do their own urine test, take blood for a lab to test and may also do a pelvic examination.
