Q: 

9 days late. home pregnancy test(-)no real symptoms of pregnancy,some nausea, am I pregnant?I hope!

A: I''m pregnant with #4. With the first 2 I was almost two weeks late before a positive preg. test! They were neg up untill then. I never get any nausia till I''m about 7 weeks preg. Just wait a few more days and test again. Hormone levels are so varied from woman to woman and with each pregnancy. My cousin took an early preg. test before she even missed her period and it showed up strongly pregnant! My body would never do that! I would call your dr. And have a blood test done. It could be ectopic. Ectopic''s won''t always show on a pregnancy test at home. The hcg levels are lower because it implanted in the wrong place. But sometimes your body will just play tricks on you. I have had that happen several times. See...
Q: 

Is it okay to take an at home pregnancy test right after menstrual period is done?

A: If you had your period, you aren''t pregnant. If you''re worried about getting pregnant from having sex during your period, you''ll need to wait a couple weeks for the test to have any results for you. The test won''t mean anything. I am assuming you had a normal period and it started on the date you expected. If so my next question is how longis your cycle? If it s typically 28 days, it is almost impossible for you to get pregnant during your period. Not that you should ever risk it if you don''t want to get pregnant, but it is still almost impossible. See, most likely you have not ovulated yet, which typically happens 14 days before your next period. The reason women are told to always use birth control no matter where they are in their cycle is because sperm can live a few days inside...


Q: 

  can a home pregnancy test detect a Ectopic pregnancy

A: Hi. A home pregnancy test measures the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in yoururine. The levels of this hormone is increased both in early intrauterine pregnancies as well as in ectopicpregnancies. So a positive home pregnancy test alone cannot confirm an ectopic pregnancy. Serum beta hCG(bhCG)provides levels which may help differentiate between normal and abnormal pregnancies, however, itrequires serial monitoring and no single serum bhCG level is diagnostic of an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopicpregnancy should be considered in a woman with a positive pregnancy test...
