In certain situations, the question of whether pregnancy has come or not, for many women becomes quite relevant already at the earliest possible date. If a woman had unprotected sexual intercourse , she naturally wants to know as soon as possible if she had any consequences for her, including pregnancy. If a woman has long sought to become pregnant, she wants even more to be informed about her condition before the delay in menstruation.
Early detection of pregnancy is rather subjective. Determine the pregnancy in the early stages is best for those women who constantly monitor basal temperature . If conception has taken place, then, rising during ovulation, the basal temperature will remain high, and will not decrease, as in the usual cycle. But this method of determining pregnancy in the early stages is not sufficiently reliable. Since the basal temperature can be affected by factors such as eating spicy foods, alcohol, high physical activity.
Subjective factors of early detection of pregnancy before delay
Signs of pregnancy at the very beginning are very reminiscent of the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, because in both cases, there is a high level of the hormone progesterone, which is responsible for the safety of the embryo.
Some women determine pregnancy by feeling heavier in the lower abdomen, or by morning sickness and vomiting, or by changing the condition of the breast. Every woman has her own omens. It is best to determine the pregnancy in the early stages of a woman who does not have premenstrual syndrome or those for whom this pregnancy is not the first.
The main signs of pregnancy in the early stages:
- The earliest definition of pregnancy is possible by the appearance of a feeling of soreness in the chest, its increase and roughness.
- The appearance of bloody discharge for 2-7 days before menstruation, which occur when the implantation of the fetal egg in the wall of the uterus.
- A special sensitivity to smells and a feeling of disgust for ordinary food.
- Obscure forebodings, increased drowsiness, excessive fatigue, absent-mindedness, irritability, which were not previously characteristic of a woman.
- Disturbances in the work of the gastrointestinal tract, frequent urination. These symptoms are associated, above all, with increased innervation of the pelvic organs.
Earliest pregnancy test
The earliest method of determining pregnancy is a blood test for the content of chorionic gonadotropin in it. It must be taken on an empty stomach in the morning. The earliest time to determine pregnancy by this method is ten days after sexual intercourse, when the conception could supposedly occur. But it must be remembered that hCG sometimes increases in non-pregnant women with certain drugs, with cancer.
Somewhat later, but still before the critical days delay,
You can carry out such a test two to three days before the start date of the month. Be sure to perform it in the morning. The highest concentration of hCG is achieved if you do not urinate for 6 hours.
If the test is negative or with a weak second strip, then a few days later you can do a second test. But in any case, a barely noticeable second stripe increases the chances of a positive result and the presence of pregnancy.
