Early pregnancy detection

The definition of pregnancy in the early stages -the question is important in any case - if it is an unwanted or desirable pregnancy. To date, there are many methods that almost one hundred percent allow you to establish a pregnancy at the earliest possible date.

If you recall the physiology, you can distinguishfollowing points. It is worth considering that the pregnancy began after the zygote was dropped into the uterus and attached to the thickness of the endometrium. Otherwise, even a fertilized egg can come out with a monthly one. Since the time when the uterus is tightly enveloping the future baby, special hormones are beginning to be released, which are responsible for inhibition of menstruation. Just the first delay coincides with a high concentration of chorionic gonadotropin, which prevents the peeling of the endometrium. Provided that all these steps are completed, and the embryo is firmly attached to the uterus, we can talk about the onset of pregnancy.

The definition of pregnancy in the early stages is possible in several ways:

1. Test strips - they are sold in any pharmacy. Since the action of the strips is based on determining the level of gonadotropin in the urine, then making a test is worthwhile after the first day of the delay of the menstrual period. Although, if a woman plans a pregnancy and will do it ahead of time (before the delay), especially sensitive tests will be able to show the weak two strips. And after the delay they will be more distinct. Such tests are recommended to be done in the morning, when the level of chorionic gonadotropin in urine is the highest.
2. If a woman has had problems with fertilization,then doctors advise doing a test for gonadotropin by a blood test. It is in the blood already when in urine its concentration is still small. Usually a week after the "successful" sexual intercourse, pregnancy can be diagnosed. Determining gonadotropin indicators, doctors receive invaluable data. At low rates, it is possible to suspect in time a frozen pregnancy, ectopic or a threat of miscarriage that can be prevented with the help of maintenance therapy, while high ones indicate a multiple pregnancy or a bladder drift (the formation of an unviable zygote). The definition of early pregnancy by this method is important for couples who have problems with conception for more than a year. In case if the fertilization has occurred and in the blood the level of the gonadotropin shows this, the doctors will prescribe supportive therapy.
3. Ultrasound is another method,which can determine pregnancy in the early stages. Usually, at significant levels of gonadotropin in the uterus, one can already discern a fetal egg, which has a size of only two millimeters. If a fetal egg is not found, then an ectopic pregnancy is suspected.
4. Feel. The female body becomes very sensitive during pregnancy. Some women can not determine pregnancy in the early stages of their feelings, and some clearly understand that something is going wrong with their body. Indicators that indicate pregnancy: a persistent increase in basal temperature, tenderness of the mammary glands, the appearance of a scarlet blood drop on the lining in the second half of the cycle without subsequent bleeding (a relative symptom, as it may also indicate a miscarriage that has begun, but then menstruation will follow), nausea, unsharp pain in the uterus and ovaries, light watery discharge, as in ovulation.
5. The last method is gynecological examination, asthe rule is made after the appearance of clear signs of pregnancy. In this case, doctors note a slight increase in the size of the uterus, softening its edges and a bluish tinge of the cervix.

The definition of early pregnancy is usuallyis not a reason to register, because in the first month the failures are most frequent, but after ten weeks it can be more confidently said that the pregnancy took place.
