Brief Answer:
Early symptom of pregnancy is missed period

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

I understand your concern.
In my opinion pregnancy is suspected when there is history of missed period.

The urine pregnancy test will be positive one week after missed period if you are pregnant.

The early symptoms of pregnancy are nausea, vomiting, and increased frequency of micturition and breast tenderness. These symptoms start around 15 days after missed period.

Spotting is seen in only some individuals it’s called as implantation bleeding which happens when the embryo implants in uterine wall.

So I suggest you to wait for your next due date and do the urine pregnancy test after one week.

Confirmation of pregnancy is done by ultrasound, which can be done 2 weeks after missed period.

Hope this satisfies your query.

Feel free to ask any more queries.

Good luck....Dr.srilatha

Brief Answer:
urine pregnancy test need to be done after a week of missed period in home.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern.
The test done to detect pregnancy is to detect beta HCG in urine.
Once in 24 hrs this hormone doubles, but this depends on case to case basis.

As you rightly said in some cases the test might show positive even before missing period and this depends on day of implantation and ovulation.

In a scenario where the implantation took place on 15th day of cycle the test will come positive before the expected day of period.

But in most of cases they check only after a missed period.

you can check with home pregnancy kit in home with early morning urine sample for better results.

good luck,.............

Regards

Hi,

Yesterday evening I did a home pregnancy test. In the test kit, the control line was prominent but near the test line there was a pink colour spread at the back. Also the test line was looking like a white & transparent and was barely visible.

I repeated the test today morning also. This time again the results were same. The control line was prominent and test line was white & transparent and was barely visible again. But this time the pink colour was not spread.

What should I infer?

Brief Answer:
The test result is inconclusive.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

I understand your concern.

In my opinion the test result is inconclusive.

If the line on the 'T' is same as 'C' the test is considered positive.

If there is no line on 'T' as 'C' the test is considered negative.

But the line in your test is barely visible, so it is inconclusive.

The line on 'T' is due to Bhcg hormone in blood which is seen in pregnancy.

The level of Bhcg hormone must be adequate to give correct results which reaches after missed period.(Variable in different people)

So usually the test is to be done after the missed period for exact result.

As your expected period is on December 14th the test might be repeated again then.

If the test result is inconclusive even after missed period then it might be due to hormonal imbalance and hormones are supplemented.

But inconclusive test at this period is not of much importance and requires no intervention but for repeating the test after the missed period.

Hope this satisfies your query.

Good luck...Dr.srilatha
