About Early Pregnancy

There are many issues that are pregnant women. The following are some of the most frequently asked questions related to the APA receive pregnancy issues.

Women can be pregnant and still have time?

Pregnant women can have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy, but should not be "normal" period. Some women may confuse this period because they often can not be achieved in the time it expects to close the regular term. Bleeding or irregular patches that can occur during pregnancy is often a dark brown or pink light. It should not be sufficient to meet the drain of tampons or pads within a few days. If you have enough to fill the drain of tampons and pads, this would be a good indicator that you are not pregnant.

What if I had a positive pregnancy test and then begin to bleed?

About 25-30% of pregnant women experience some types of stains or bleeding in early pregnancy. This may be the result of many different factors, including the implantation of bleeding, infection, irritation of the cervix, pregnancy outside the uterus, or a threat to abortion. Many women who have bleeding from the light of the pregnancy and will be the health of children. About half of women who bleed a little light will continue to have heavier bleeding that eventually lead to abortion. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict whether or not vaginal bleeding will be provided to abortion. If you have bleeding that light still get heavier, accompanied by painful cramps, back pain or stabbing pain, they want to consult a doctor immediately.
If you have very few lanterns to go after that, you want to make sure share with your health care to be fully aware of everything you meet your pregnancy.

What if I have symptoms of pregnancy, but after a considerable period?

If you have some strange symptoms that made it think you might be pregnant in May, but then the bleeding, would you like to see the provision of health care to see what happens. This could be due to hormonal imbalance, infection or error. But the only way to know for sure is through the pursuit of medical care.

What if I notice I am pregnant and tension?

Pregnant women may be a bit twitchy light early in the pregnancy. They are often light menstrual cramps cramps in the lower abdomen or side or the other. The tension is often a result of any changes that occur in the womb. The uterus is known as the laying of the egg begins to grow and develop.

Some light cramps and could also have a small bag called the ovary during ovulation luteum body bag. Forms a small bag in a place where the ovarian egg of persistent organic pollutants prior to the trip to the womb. This then produces progesterone bag until the placenta trained enough to start their own production of progesterone. This small bag can cause discomfort for women in early pregnancy.

After that date, the exact concept to determine with precision?

Many women have questions about the possible date of the perception, unfortunately, this is not always easy. The assumption is that if women have enough regular menstrual cycles, ovulation will then be for some time this month. Ovulation is in the design could be caused by eggs when available. The problem is that most women do not lay eggs on a specific date each month, and many women the last day of ovulation from month to month. If you also take into account the fact that sperm can live in the body 3-5 days after sex took place, and that they could make it very difficult to design. Most doctors use on the first day of the last period (LMP) and ultrasound measurements to measure the pregnancy of the child and determine when and gave birth to the baby was conceived. But these are the tools used to estimate the date it is very difficult to say anything exact date of the concept really is. Most people do not realize that ultrasound can be reduced to 5-7 days in early pregnancy and up to two weeks if the first Ultrasounds are in fact lower than the second three months of pregnancy or later. Goals are not accurate for determining the design tool, it is also a tribute to history (only 5% of women to fulfill their obligations in a timely manner).

If you're looking for the estimated date of conception for reasons of paternity, and two partners signed within 10 days of each other, and we strongly encourage that paternity testing be done, this test can be done during pregnancy and after childbirth. This is the only way to know specifically who is the father.

If you have a negative pregnancy test after my missing, which means that I'm not pregnant?

A negative result may mean that you are not pregnant, are you test too early, or are you wrong test. Pregnancy tests are different in sensitivity (how long can detect the hormone HCG), and you do not have your body in May because of insufficient time to produce enough of the hormone HCG that appear on the test. Also, if you leave a test for a very long time (after the instructions on the box to tell you), the test is invalid. It is better to follow the instructions and wait until you have missed period before taking the test. Some women are clearly the day to test out some time in May, while the others were not positive until 3-4 weeks after the missed period. We encourage women to the test after Miss, and if the result was negative, must wait a week and test again if the period is not normal

Taking a Pregnancy Test

Taking a Pregnancy Test

How a test of whether you are pregnant or not?
A pregnancy test detects the presence of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in blood or urine. hCG is produced in the placenta shortly after the embryo attaches to the lining of the uterus and quickly accumulates in your body in the first days of pregnancy.

How long should I wait before getting a test?

A pregnancy test with a sensitivity of 20 IU / L is more sensitive than 50 IU / L.
