Pregnancy

Wondering if you are pregnant?

Normally blood and or a urine test usually can identify pregnancy very soon after the implantation, usually as early as 6-8 days after the egg has been fertilized.

At home pregnancy tests can also help to determine if you are pregnant (If you are indeed pregnancy, you should also checkout and bookmark this pregnancy calendar). Normally not as soon as a clinical one, however with the latest technologies it is getting closer. Now days the store bought pregnancy tests are quite accurate in detecting the pregnancy about two weeks after conception has occurred. This is normally when you would be having your menstrual period.

If the test comes back negative and you think you are pregnant, wait a few days and take another test. Or call your doctor and have the blood or urine test taken to find out for sure. Another resource to bookmark is for stretch mark prevention.

It is quite common for women to use morning urine to take their pregnancy test. It has been advised taking your test at this time, as this urine usually contains a higher a concentrated amount of LH. It is suggested to use urine from later on that morning or sometime in the mid afternoon.
