Signs of pregnancy

Many women want to get pregnant so much that each cycle is looking for signs of pregnancy. But sometimes, in the absence of pregnancy, they find them. It is worth noting that the most sure sign of pregnancy is the diagnosis of pregnancy by a gynecologist.

Delayed menstruation. This is the first thing that leads to the thoughts of many women. However, despite the fact that this is one of the most reliable signs of pregnancy, delays may happen for other reasons. For example, hormonal imbalance or inflammatory process. Therefore, 100%this feature is not.

HCG level in the blood. The increase in this hormone, which is deciphered as a human chorionic gonadotropin, in most cases indicates a pregnancy. This sign is more reliable than the previous. You can determine the level of hCG in the laboratory. The hormone of pregnancy begins to be released when the zygote is attached to the wall of the uterus. You can also make a regular pregnancy test, which also reacts to the presence of this hormone, but only in the urine. But there is one nuance: the content of hCG in the blood is much greater than in the urine. Therefore, even if there is pregnancy, a home test may not show its presence.

Another false -negative pregnancy test can be associated with kidney disease. Then the test simply does not react to the insignificantly small content of hCG.
