Esign pregnancy verification

hi welcome to pregnancy chat calm I'm Monica Healy today I want to talk about negative pregnancy tests so you've missed your cycle and you've taken a pregnancy test a home pregnancy test and it's negative could you still be pregnant the simplest answer to this question is yes you can still be pregnant if the home pregnancy test results are negative although this is rare with the home pregnancy kit available today both negatives may be due to a number of reasons a false negative means that you are actually pregnant and the test results are misleading home pregnancy tests determined pregnancy through the detection of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin HCG in a woman's urine doctors recommend that you wait until you've missed a period to take a home pregnancy test if you cannot wait that long to find out and you know the day you may have conceived in the earliest I suggest to take a test would be 14 days from when you think you've conceived home tests are usually 97% accurate when all the instructions are followed correctly and the results are read on time some kits come with two tests so that in case you have made a mistake you may take the home pregnancy test again you see most women have a 28-day cycle you may not have a 28-day cycle but even if you do and although ovulation usually occurs around day 14 it can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint the exact time that fertilization takes place an egg that has been released can wait 12 to 24 hours before it is fertilized and then it takes a few days to travel down the fallopian tube and implant inside the womb and it's not until it implants inside the womb that your body starts to produce HCG it is this hormone that is found in your urine that gives the pregnancy test its positive results as I mentioned home pregnancy tests measure the levels of HCG in your urine this hormone is secreted when you're pregnant by the placental tissue the amount of this hormone each a woman secretes may vary slightly the better tests on the market will measure menu amounts of HCG found in urine and can sometimes be detected up to a few days before the missed period first morning urine will always contain the highest concentration of HCG these tests rarely give false results a negative answer that is later revealed to be a pregnancy that is usually the result of a test being performed too early a positive that later turns out that the woman is not pregnant is usually a very early miscarriage where an embryo was unable to implant successfully and will be followed shortly by your period talk to your practitioner if you have questions about your pregnancy tests and consider calling the toll-free number provided by the test manufacturer these home pregnancy test kits require that you place a pregnancy test strip into a sample of your urine or that you place the strip in a stream of urine when you're going to the washroom within minutes the presence of a dot or a line or a color change will indicate whether HCG is present there are many on the market and each a little different if the test is positive it means that you are pregnant if the test is negative but you still have signs and symptoms of pregnancy wait five to seven more days and then take the test again it may be that the pregnancy is too early to detect or ask if your doctor can have a blood test taken at your doctor's office a blood test is more accurate than urine and the blood the HCG and blood is a little different than the amount in your urine a negative test could also be the result of a phantom pregnancy phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking you're pregnant you still experience the symptoms but you're not actually pregnant some women have been able to even lactate through a phantom pregnancy the psychological causes of a phantom pregnancy are usually caused by having an extreme desire to become pregnant I hope this helps answer some of your questions about negative pregnancy tests if you have any questions please join us in the forums at pregnancy chat com I'm Monica Hylian thanks for watching
