Question 1

i missed periods for 10 days i did urine and blood test and both came negative but i still miss my  periods does the blod pregnancy test is accurate ?

Accepted Answer

It should be: accurate at that point. Reasons for missed /late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight gain or loss, over-exercise such as in endurance athletes, breast-feeding, stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, medications (i.e., birth control) or med problem (polycystic ovary syndrome or Asherman’s syndrome. #1 reason is pregnancy.

Question 2

how many days after a missed period should i get a blood test for pregbancy?

Accepted Answer

Same day: You can wait longer but a serum (blood) test is reliable even a day or two before the expected missed period.

Question 3

i am three weeks late on my period and i never miss a period i have one every month and they are never late took a home pregnancy test and it was negative and went to my family doctor and they done a blood test and it came back negative?

Accepted Answer

: Normally regular women can occasionally skip a cycle or two. The lack of an egg release is often used as a reason. When it extends past 60-90 days docs often offer pills to bring on menses if the pregnancy test is negative.

Question 4

how long before a missed period will a blood test detect pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Great majority of pregnancies occur when coitus takes places within the 3 day interval just prior to ovulation. The first hormonal evidence of implantation (appearance of hcg) ocurred on 8 to 10 days after ovulation. Some commercial urine pregnancy test dont become positive until 5 days before your missed period. If negative and still suspect a pregnancy do a blood level pregnancy test.

Question 5

how accurate is a pregnancy blood test on first day of missed period?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy testing: The bigger question is is the test done at least fourteen days after the possible conception. If it is less than fourteen days then it is not too accurate.

Question 6

chances of false negative in a quantitive blood test 2 weeks after missed period? test was neg- less thn 1. should i still be worried about pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

About zero: The chances of a false negative blood test two weeks after missing your menstrual cycle are just slightly less than zero.

Question 7

5 days before missed period 6 home pregnancy tests say positive but blood test says 4 iu negative. can i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Recheck: &lt;5 IU in Most blood test is a negative test. But because you took test before you actually missed a period I would repeat another blood test after your period is due.  Keep in mind, False positive/false negative tests can occur with commercial pregnancy tests. Blood test is more accurate.

Question 8

can you get a positive blood test for pregnancy 8 days before your missed period?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, but...: That is very early, so often the test will still be negative, and one will end up retesting. Patience is a vital virtue for any aspiring parent-to-be.  One should just wait 3 weeks after the estimated date of fertilization, and test then.

Question 9

first day of last period august 28th)negative blood test for pregnancy (sept. 21st)and a missed period 5 days (sept.25)later can i still be pregnant ?

Accepted Answer

May be: The blood test was probably done too soon to be meaningful. You may do a home pregnancy test now or see your doctor for a repeat blood test and ultrasound examination.

Question 10

i had a negative blood test and two positive pregnancy urine tests, and a negative urine test also. but it's 6 days before my missed period still?

Accepted Answer

Can repeat in 1 week: Might be pregnant. A urine pregnancy test, done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test. If a woman gets her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant.
