How to know that you are pregnant?

Sooner or later, every girl asks herself a question: how do I know if I'm pregnant? It does not matter whether the pregnancy is desirable or undesirable, because in both cases you want to be aware of your "interesting situation" as soon as possible. So, let's tell you how to find out that you are pregnant, in a brief overview of the most common methods.

Ways to know if you are pregnant or not

The most simple method, how to find out at home that you are pregnant, is to buy an express test that is sold at any pharmacy. This is not only the easiest approach to the issue, but also the cheapest, because budget tests cost no more than 20-30r. For this check, you need to collect the morning portion of the urine in the reservoir, lower the test strip into it and wait a few minutes. One strip - the baby is not in a hurry, two strips - the baby is already under your heart. To be happy or not is your choice.

And how do you know without a test that you are pregnant?

For this you need:

1. Submit a laboratory blood test for the definition of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) - the main pregnancy hormone (you can do it with minimal delay and even before it).
2. Listen to your body, because he, for sure, will give signals about the new life that has arisen in him.

How to know that a woman is pregnant, by indirect evidence:

• First, there will be a malfunction of the menstrual cycle (the so-called "delay");
• secondly, bizarre discharge may appear in the form of a yellowish or brownish trace on the underwear (this is called "implantation bleeding");
• thirdly, the basal temperature, measured in the rectum, will increase after fertilization and will remain at a level of 38 degrees for some time;
• Fourthly, there may be frequent urge to urinate, gas formation, nausea, vomiting, taste distortion or excessive olfactory sensitivity;
• Fifth, a woman begins to pester chronic fatigue, a sense of weakness, a bad mood;
• Sixth, as a rule, the sensitivity of the breast increases, the nipples ache, the breast swells;
• Seventh, pain can occur in the lumbar region, the uterus, which at high intensity should be an occasion to call a doctor.

Sometimes girls ask how to find out that they are pregnant with twins. The answer is simple: you need to undergo an ultrasound procedure (ultrasound). Only such a method will help to answer this question with certainty. Preliminary suspicion of multiple pregnancies will help the excess of the hCG for a presumed term several times the results of a laboratory blood test.

When can you find out that you are pregnant?

Pregnancy can not be established immediately after conception . It takes some time for the fertilized egg to implant into the uterine cavity. Only after this, a new period for the female body begins. On the progress of the fallopian tubes and the introduction into the endometrium, it takes about 7-10 days. Already in 3-5 days after implantation, a blood test can show the presence of an embryo. It is almost impossible for a woman to know before the delay that she is pregnant by the results of a simple "home" test, since its results are reliable only from the first day of the lag of the next month. This is due to the fact that the concentration of hCG in the blood is much more significant than its concentration in the urine. Ultrasound becomes informative from the fifth week of pregnancy.

A woman needs to note any changes that occur to her, since she can only know due to her attentive attitude to find out that she is pregnant before the month.

Often men are wondering how to find out if his girl is pregnant. They, too, can be advised to pay attention to her mood, health and behavior, but it is best to take an analysis together or buy an express test.
