Positive Pregnancy Test

The great and best sign that the woman is pregnant is a positive pregnancy test. Home pregnancy test measures the pregnancy hormone hCG in the woman’s urine. The most sensitive home pregnancy test shows a positive result when the hCG level reaches 20, that can happen as early as four days before the menses are due, or approximately 10 days after she has been conceived. False negatives are general while testing early with a home pregnancy test, so it is recommended that the woman should wait to use one until 18 days after ovulation avoiding false negatives.

The usual recommendation is waiting until 14 days after being ovulated before testing. Blood serum pregnancy test performed by the health care provider is much more sensitive as they can detect hCG levels as low as unit 5. If the woman continues to experience pregnancy symptoms, but the home pregnancy tests continue to show negative, she can take an appointment with her health care provider to confirm the pregnancy.

Let us look at other pregnancy signs and symptoms


Missed Menses

One of the most common pregnancy signs or symptoms is missing a menstrual cycle. For women with a standard 28-day menstrual cycle, the period is late if it has not come 15 days after ovulation, or 29 days after the 1st day of the menses. Elevated basal body temperature for 15 or more days typically accompanies the missing menstrual cycle.

Frequent Urination

Frequent urination is quite a common early symptom of pregnancy as the pregnant woman finds herself unable to be away from a washroom for more than an hour at a time, or getting off the beds in the middle of the night to micturate.

Morning Sickness

Morning sickness begins as early as 2 to 4 weeks after being conceived. The term morning sickness is like a misnomer, as the pregnant woman can experience the nausea and vomiting all the day. Morning sickness ideally is worst during the 1st trimester, and most of the pregnant women will get their morning sickness symptoms diminished or subsided completely during the 2nd or 3rd trimester.

Breast Changes

Breast soreness generally begins around 3 to 4 wk after conception. This could also be a sign of the impending menstrual cycle. Generally the degree of breast soreness is much stronger with pregnancy as compared to with woman’s normal menstrual periods. The woman also might notice a slight tingling sensation down the body.

Other changes happen to the breasts as early pregnancy signs and symptoms. The areolas can become larger and darker.

Exhausting

The exhausting is common. The fatigue can be an early sign or symptom of pregnancy and this is not just being a little tired; it is more like being totally wiped out and the normal daily activities can make her completely down with fatigue.

Food cravings are a very general pregnancy symptom and about 85 percent of women will experience some kind of food craving during their gestational period. Food aversions are another side of food cravings. These are also very common signs and symptoms of early pregnancy. The woman might find that a favorite food suddenly making her feel nauseated just having a thought about it.

Smell aversion is heightened sense of smell that might cause some odors to seem stronger as compared to the normal when the woman is pregnant. Some smell aversions may cause food aversions and vice versa.

Baby movement is another pregnancy signs and symptoms. The mother can feel her baby moving as early as 16th wk, but for 1st time mother, it might not feel the baby moving until 20th wk has gone or more.

Intuitions are always there. The woman feels that she is pregnant. However, these intuitions are not to be measured or to be counted but they are there and are most important out of all.
