Why is it better not to test before the delay? Is there any hope.

I am 10dpo today! Well, there are no signs at all, it seems to me, except for some fictitious or something.

Last night, at 9DPO, I took a test, well, I’m a test addict, yes) And he gave me a weak second line) I run to my husband with shaking hands) And he sees her! Ahh! Barely lived until the morning!

Made in the morning, the same pale! And right now I did the test again, I'm still afraid that the strip is gone) And then I see that it has become brighter)

Upper test is last night at 9dpo, at 9 o'clock, lower one just now, at 10dpo)

I track ovulation by tests, so I can probably say for sure that she was last Monday)

Until menstruation 4 days! should not come on Monday now!)

Girls, when did you test for pregnancy??

Oh. He lied about cleable, he showed me 2-3 weeks. And then again on the 23rd day it showed 2-3 weeks. I was very scared. Lied such a poop.

Hi all! I just found out today, 13 DPO 2 strips, Mom Test test. What to do next?

VikaFawal, I have not had my period yet, and the test showed 2 strips ...

My first weak line was drawn at 11 dpo, and at 12 dpo it was already clear

Hello! I have eco. Ghost - 5 dpo with five days (like 10 dpo), the next day is already brighter and brighter

I have girls before the delay for another 5 days, and my test shows 2 strips, one is bright, and the second is not ... is this possible? and is everything okay? Is there a pregnancy or something wrong?

At about 12 DPO, I did it in the afternoon, the strip was pale, two days later both strips were already equal in brightness.

The very first ghost appeared at 14 dpo, but quickly darkened - a day later there were 2 clearly visible

The first day of the delay was a weak ghost of the strip, and on the 7th day after the delay there was already a bright second strip.

I did a test on the 7th day of delay, immediately showed a second obvious strip, not the same in brightness as the control, but bright)))

Girls, at 11 DPO, I took the test around 6 in the morning. Negative. there wasn’t even a ghost .. in the afternoon I made an inkjet (also evi) - a second strip immediately appeared. Pretty clear, albeit pale. But she looked good. At 12, 13 DPO, the tests are negative.. there is not even a ghost.. how can this be explained, can anyone tell me?

Is there nothing else to do? if there is a B, it won’t get away from you, is it really impossible to wait for a delay and take a test, and then go for hCG? Well, what's on the coffee grounds - then guess? New21 July 2013, 12:37

You know, sometimes people take pills, and it is very important to know in advance, otherwise there may not be a delay. The sharpness is always amazing, you might think someone is forcing you to count the days until the delay New July 21, 2013, 12:42

Then they go to the doctor and decide this issue, they go to take hCG on the appointed day. Well, what can we see from the photo? I always have this test before my period. But I'm not pregnant. New21 July 2013, 12:45

So the doctor says to do tests until there is a ghost, and immediately on hcg. There has never been a false positive, by the way, this is not good

”I would be glad ... it’s just that last month the tests also striped, but menstruation began 2 days earlier ((there was a miscarriage along the way, they were striped even after M ... and then they stopped, and now they are starting to give out again // ...
09/14/12 21:38 "yeah, maybe when there is a pregnancy, this hCG appears immediately, and not after a delay, just then its concentration is already high! You can be congratulated!
09/14/12 20:01 "And why not =) my test sparkled at 9 DPO .. and a non-pale streak, but a distinct one, and the ultrasound showed 3 days before the CD =) Now I have a streak next to me hehhe =)

Well, it happens that it is so visible, but not in the photo. Make the next one at 12dpo... I already had bright ones at 6-8-10dpo, you can look in my gallery, even in the photo you can clearly see everything.. And what is the sensitivity of the test? Mine just let me do them from 5dpo already.. April 3, 2013 — 08:12

Well, it happens that you can see it that way, but not in the photo. Make the next one at 12dpo ... I already had bright ones at 6-8-10dpo, you can look in my gallery, even in the photo you can clearly see everything .. And what is the sensitivity of the test you have “Mine just allowed them to be done from 5 dpo already .. This is an evitest, the sensitivity is 20, I also didn’t show the test for a long time during my first pregnancy, only on the first day of the delay there was a barely visible line, I even threw it out at first)) April 3, 2013 — 08:35 Sorry, but I don’t see the second line either, and a test with a sensitivity of 20 is unlikely to show it so early. Buy at least with a sensitivity of 10 and do it in two days. Although I understand you perfectly, I want to know everything quickly, I myself recently went through this. I looked nervously at the tests. By the way, you can take a blood test for hCG, it will definitely show if you are pregnant or not. I ended up doing exactly that. April 3, 2013 — 08:45

Sorry, but I don’t see the second line either, and a test with a sensitivity of 20 is unlikely to show it so early. Buy at least with a sensitivity of 10 and do it in two days. Although I understand you perfectly, I want to know everything quickly, I myself recently went through this. I looked nervously at the tests. By the way, you can take a blood test for hCG, it will definitely show if you are pregnant or not. I ended up doing exactly that. Thank you, don’t apologize) I really don’t have enough patience, it’s just that our first baby turned out right away, and with this I want something to work out right away, so that the kids don’t have big difference aged.

Old thread HERE. Warning: WITHOUT FLUD! NO CHEEKS! CONGRATULATIONS without fanaticism!!(and better in a personal!) Tests come with different sensitivities. 10 mIU / ml recognizes the pregnancy hormone (hCG) at a lower concentration. Such a test can determine pregnancy at an earlier date. Typically, most pregnancy tests have a sensitivity of 20-25 mIU/mL. There are 4 types of pregnancy tests: Test strips. attention! spoiler! (strip test) You need to lower the test strip for 10-20 seconds to a certain mark in a container with urine. The strip strip is impregnated with a reagent (antibodies to hCG). Morning urine contains the maximum amount of the pregnancy hormone (hCG). After that, put the strip on a horizontal surface and evaluate the result after a few minutes. If one red stripe - you are not pregnant, if two stripes - congratulations! (test cassettes) This is most often the same test strip, but in a plastic tablet. It does not need to be immersed in liquid. On the front side of the test are two windows. In the first window of a small box, you should drop a little urine with a pipette that is attached to the test, and the second (control) window will show you the result within a few minutes. Sensitivity and quality are the same as those of the test strips, but the price is higher. Attention! spoiler! The most modern tests. You just need to substitute the receiving end of the test under the stream of urine at any time of the day and after a few minutes - the result is ready, two strips or one. Inkjet tests are more expensive than tablet tests. In an electronic test, instead of a strip, the inscription “pregnant” appears if you are pregnant, and “not pregnant” if you are not pregnant. The electronic test is convenient because you do not need to break your eyes to see if there is a strip or not. Electronic tests the most expensive. In what cases are there incorrect results? False negative: 1. if the test is done too early when the hCG level is very low2. if the rules of the instructions are not followed and the test is carried out incorrectly3. if you drink too much liquid, which can dilute your urine and reduce the concentration of pregnancy hormone in it if the test is expired

Why not test before delay? yes, at least out of economy, and if your chickens don’t peck money, out of common sense. I'll explain why. The test reacts to the beta subunit of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which begins to be produced only after implantation of such a still tiny fetus of your love into the endometrium, and this happens 3-12 days after conception. Of course, if this fruit belongs to sprinters, then the chance to see the coveted second stripe is greater than ever. But I will immediately cool your possible ardor: the value of this chance is 0.68%.

3-5 dpo - 0.68%

6 dpo - 1.39%

7 dpo - 5.56%

8 dpo - 18.06%

9 dpo - 36.81%

10 dpo - 27.78%

11 dpo - 6.94%

12 dpo - 2.78%

And if the fruit of love is slow? why get upset ahead of time? after all, it is enough to wait only a few days to know for sure. ABOUT! I can directly see the indignant faces of those who are especially suffering (I myself was in their place!), because in these few days you can die of impatience! they will say so and they will be right, of course, but for me it is much more terrible to die of disappointment. Yes and good tests- pleasure is not cheap. It’s better to buy yourself an extra kilogram of apples, the right word!

I mentioned GOOD tests for a reason. Let's talk about this in more detail. The famous "ghosts" that the suffering are so happy to believe .... Oh, these ghosts that make you sob into the pillow! In bad, cheap tests, the reagent can also be bad. And it reacts to everything...

By the way, the same good tests can falsely show the second strip, and in vain many sin on tests, they themselves are "guilty". Wikipedia kindly shared with me the following information: human chorionic gonadotropin has the biological properties of both LH and FSH, and binds to both types of gonadotropin receptors, but the luteinizing activity in CG significantly predominates over the follicle-stimulating one. CG in luteinizing activity significantly exceeds the "normal" LH produced by the anterior pituitary gland.

Next, turn on the logic. And if LG, so to speak, is not ordinary? Well, that is, its level goes off scale for the normal for the second phase of LH or what kind of cyst? or some other bug? this is a test for a healthy woman just like that, the "ghost" will not show! and how many of those who have been waiting for a stork for years are really healthy? hmmm .... here are the tears in the pillow. But the fact is that the test reagent reacts (sorry for the tautology) to abnormal LH and instead of pregnancy shows hope for her, which is immediately and ruthlessly taken away by the menstruation that has come. And the waiting stork thinks, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! It broke! I was pregnant! It's just an early miscarriage, because there are a lot of them! but I felt, I knew, I felt! I've been pulling / stabbing / chest / shooting for 7 days already! and in general I the fish have already dreamed twice!" It's not that I don't believe in omens or reject unconventional ways. No! what do you! I was screaming myself. I just want to give food for thought. And finally, there really are early miscarriages. Yes, they are. But what's the point of shedding tears? it is much easier to go to the laboratory and find out your level of hormones, so that you can sleep peacefully in a pillow, and not sob into it, exclaiming “Why do I need this, Lord! gives birth to a third healthy child after six abortions, ahhh!"

Okay, let's move on. There are no problems with hormones, we have already figured it out. And there is impatience. Moreover, there are some insidious tests, expensive and good, which already 4 days before the delay promise to show the result, if any. Is it necessary?

Remember about hCG during implantation? Take, for example, the sprinter. Well, yes, the very same sprinter, who already at 3 DPO screwed into mommy with all the dope and let's produce hCG. So, for the first 2-3 weeks, the value of hCG in the blood doubles every 24-48 hours. Well, if our baby is a sprinter, let's take it as a truth that his hCG doubles every 24 hours. Wow!

At 4 DPO, the hCG value is 2, at 5 DPO - 4, at 6 DPO - 8, at 7 DPO - 16, at 8 DPO - 32 - oops! at 8 dpo, a test with a sensitivity of 25 will show clear two stripes. But this is only if the woman clearly knows the day of ovulation (not according to the schedule, but according to the ultrasound!), Her baby is a sprinter - 0.68% probability, and even hCG produces at a breakneck pace. The probability of such a scenario is less than 1%.

Now consider the average scenario. Implantation at 8 DPO and doubling hCG every 48 hours. At 9 DPO - 2, at 11 DPO - 4, at 13 DPO - 8, at 15 DPO - 16, i.e. on the first day of the delay, the test will show a faint line! and on the third it is already clear and bright.

Well, if the baby was delayed with attachment? At 10 DPO, as many as 27% of cases occur. We count!

11 DPO - 2, 13 DPO - 4, 15 DPO (first day of delay) - 8 in total, 17 DPO (3rd day of delay) - 16, i.e. a weak strip can be seen only on the 2-3 day delay, but not before it. And is it worth it to cry?

Say it's hard not to cry, not to worry, not to count? Yes, it is difficult. I know. She cried, she worried. Yes, just to pull myself together and get distracted (it helped me), it's enough to know the following: "British scientists have conducted studies on the effect of stress on the ability of women to conceive. Studies have shown that in women experiencing the most stress, the ability to conceive is reduced by 12%. The study involved 274 women aged 18 to 40. Moreover, there is the fact that after several unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant, a woman begins to experience even more stress and the chances of conception from this fall even more.

Why reduce the chances of becoming a mother with tears and hassle? this is the answer to the question, why do alcoholics give birth easily, and we, who want and wait so much, cry into the pillow? because alcoholics don’t sweat, they don’t have stress. Therefore, it is necessary, if not to completely "uncycle", then at least not to do tests before the delay. Since disappointment is very likely, which is oh so undesirable for those planning a pregnancy!

I'm not talking about those who are in the IVF protocol, who have serious problems that require the earliest determination of pregnancy. But as a rule, in these cases, a woman is under the supervision of a doctor and donates blood for the determination of hCG, and does not look out for ghosts on tests.

It's a long article. Thanks to those who have read to the end! maybe someone will help. At least this knowledge helped me a lot. And I'm plushkin, I like to save money. A pregnancy test costs at least 50 rubles. If you do not do tests after 10 DPO, in total this is at least 5-6 tests = 250-300 rubles, with a year of planning experience, you can save 3000-3600 rubles and a lot of nerves to boot. For 3000 rubles it will be possible for the baby to buy new sliders!

And pregnancy comes when you least expect it. This is no longer from the Internet, but word of mouth has worked. Of all my acquaintances concerned about the problem (I'm not talking about those who simply said "let's try" and scored, living on and rejoicing), only one couple managed to get pregnant according to the plan the first time, and then in the IVF protocol. The rest went through all the circles of hell until they learned to live without thoughts of pregnancy. And then it worked!

Is it 10 DPO? Is the test negative? What does this mean for a couple planning to become parents? Is there any hope for pregnancy? Or in this case, you can not hope for a successful conception? Every girl, even a teenager, should know the answers to all these questions. The thing is that pregnancy, ovulation and the timing of the pregnancy test are closely related. If you do not take this into account, you may encounter an unexpected unplanned pregnancy.

Ovulation is...

10 DPO - the test is negative, should I be upset or is it too early? To correctly answer such a question, you will have to figure out what ovulation is.

In the body of a woman with the onset of the next menstruation, a cyclic process begins - the maturation of the egg with the preparation of the body for fertilization. Ovulation is the moment when the follicle ruptures. An egg ready for fertilization comes out of it. This is the most favorable moment for conception.

But when will the test show the exact result? And is it worth it to be upset if on the 10th day after ovulation the girl does not see the second bright line?

Important: ovulation occurs approximately in the middle of the menstrual cycle.

What does the test respond to?

10-11 DPO - negative test? Before you get upset or rejoice, you need to understand, Everything is extremely simple and clear even to a schoolboy.

Modern rapid tests allow you to determine pregnancy on early dates. They respond to an increase in the level of hCG in the urine. In a healthy body, this hormone is absent.

Accordingly, the second strip will appear during pregnancy when the level of hCG rises to a sufficient level. Usually, modern express tests make it possible to judge the onset of pregnancy approximately by the first delay in menstruation.

When to do the test?

10 dpo test negative? Unfortunately, it is difficult to answer why this is so. This is due to the fact that each organism is individual. And girls may not see the second strip on a pregnancy test for a very long time due to individual characteristics.

Therefore, it is better to find out when is the best time to check the body for the success of conception. There are different opinions about this.

In fact, it's best not to take a pregnancy test until your period is missed. On the first or second day, the check may not give desired result. And, the earlier the girl does the test, the less likely it is that the diagnosis will be effective.

The sensitivity of the test is to blame

Day 10 DPO test negative? Do not get upset ahead of time! It is not a fact that the indications of the device for home confirmation of pregnancy are not false.

The thing is that modern pregnancy tests have different sensitivities. The smaller the number on the test package, the more accurate it will be.

To date, you can find devices with a sensitivity of 25, 20 and 10 Mme / ml. Most of the tests have the first "type of accuracy". This is enough to determine pregnancy in the first days of a missed period in most cases.

The low sensitivity of the test often leads to the fact that a woman sees a false result - the device "says" that there is no pregnancy, but in fact it does occur.

Test types

It is hard to believe, but practice shows that the type of device used to determine pregnancy plays an important role. This is due to the fact that some types of pregnancy tests have a high probability of errors. To determine the success of conception in the early stages, this is an extremely important nuance.

In pharmacies, you can find the following pregnancy tests:

strip strips;
tablet;
jet;
electronic.

They are all used in approximately the same way - urine is applied to the receiving end of the device, after which a chemical reaction occurs and information about the level of hCG is displayed.

Is there any hope?

Going 10 dpo? Is the test negative? Is there any hope for a successful conception of a child? As already mentioned, a definite answer will not work under any circumstances. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the body of a particular girl.

Theoretically, there is hope for pregnancy. Many claim that 10 days after ovulation is too early to diagnose the success of conception. Before menstruation, on average, another 4-5 days. So, most likely, the test results will be negative.

From the foregoing, it follows that there is a hope for pregnancy in the situation described, and rather big. The main thing is to be patient and wait a bit.

Watching in dynamics

10 dpo pregnancy test negative? As we found out, there is hope for the successful conception of a child in one or another menstrual cycle. The main thing is not to rush and be patient.

Moreover, in order not to be nervous once again, you can trace the changes in the test results over time. For example, buy a few strips and check daily.

So often you can see first a negative test, then a "ghost", and after a few days - a clear second strip. Unfortunately, many factors can contribute to a false test result. Because of them, women often experience false negative and false positive results.

Why is there no stripe?

10-11 DPO test negative? This is quite normal. It is recommended to simply repeat the diagnosis after a few days. It is advisable to wait for the delay of menstruation.

Why doesn't a second line appear on a pregnancy test? The reasons may be different. For example:

early diagnosis;
fetal pathology;
the presence of chronic diseases that reduce the production of hCG;
violation of the verification procedure;
defective test device;
no pregnancy.

If the test is negative at 10 DPO, there is no need to worry, get upset or panic. Most often, this is too early to assess the success of conception in a particular menstrual cycle.

short cycle

All of the above information is great for women with normal or long menstrual cycles. In these cases, the level of hCG in the urine on the 10th day after ovulation is low enough to be recognized at home.

Sometimes there are girls with a short menstrual cycle. They have about 20-21 days from menstruation to menstruation. This is a rare occurrence, but it does happen.

Under such circumstances, ovulation occurs on the 10th day after the onset of menstrual bleeding. And a new cycle should come in another 10-11 days. What does it mean?

If the test is negative at 10 DPO in a girl with a short menstrual cycle, you can often not hope for a successful conception. It is recommended to wait. If after a week the menstruation does not come, it is necessary to repeat the express check.

And in this case, the testimony does not allow us to judge the onset of pregnancy? Then it's time to go to the doctor - the delay in menstruation is not caused by pregnancy. You can not even hope for its onset from the last cycle.

Electronic tests and early diagnosis

10 dpo test negative? Pulling the lower abdomen? This can be a sign of pregnancy, and approaching menstruation. This is how a woman's body reacts to most hormonal changes.

Modern highly sensitive tests, according to manufacturers, help determine pregnancy 2-3 days before the delay. Usually these are electronic devices. They also allow you to see the approximate duration of pregnancy.

The girls assure that some tests really show the exact result 2-3 days before the expected menstruation. However, it is not recommended to rely on this. Before the delay of critical days, the level of hCG in the urine is not high enough. Ideally, do the test on the 14-15th day after ovulation. This way you will be more likely to get an accurate result.

Signs of pregnancy

Negative test at 10 dpo? Pulling the lower abdomen? As emphasized earlier, the girl will have to be patient. The specified period of time is small enough to be used to judge successful conception or its absence.

Pregnancy in some women begins to manifest even before the delay of menstruation. How exactly?

Here are the signs of early pregnancy:

an increase in the abdomen;
constipation;
bloating;
heightened sense of smell;
nausea;
general malaise;
drowsiness;
fast fatiguability;
pulling pains in the abdomen and lower back;
craving for certain products, not characteristic of a girl.

In addition, with a successful conception, implantation bleeding may occur. Some confuse them with the onset of menstruation.

Conclusion

Girl on day 10 DPO? Is the test negative? Based on the foregoing, it follows that this situation is normal. No modern pregnancy test can determine a successful conception 10 days after ovulation. This is an extremely rare occurrence, which can be considered an exception.

Only those who conduct careful health monitoring can judge early pregnancy. The thing is that immediately after the conception of a child basal body temperature body rises. If you make a graph, you will see that the temperature indicators will be higher than usual. This pattern will continue longer than usual.

In this case, you can go to the gynecologist, for an ultrasound scan and donate blood for hCG. So, even with a negative pregnancy test, it will be possible to find out as accurately as possible whether the conception took place or not.

Negative test at 10-11 dpo? This, as already mentioned, is normal. A woman's body may not show any signs of pregnancy even after a missed period. In order to judge pregnancy as accurately as possible, you will have to take a blood test for hCG after the menstruation has not come. Only analysis and ultrasound can, with a 100% probability, answer the question of whether a woman is pregnant or not.

The principle of operation and timing of diagnosis

Before we talk about changes in the result of a pharmacy pregnancy test depending on the day of the cycle, we need to talk about the principles by which test systems work, why they show two strips or one. It is very important to understand when and how to self-diagnose.

After fertilization, which biologically and physiologically can occur only on the day of the release of the egg and within a day after it (while the egg is alive), the embryo begins to move through the oviduct into the uterine cavity, and this path takes about three days. On the fourth day, the embryo reaches its destination, where implantation occurs after another 1-3 days. Only after the embryo is fixed on the inner wall of the uterus, a gradual increase in the specific active substance begins in the body - the hCG hormone, chorionic gonadotropin.

HCG is produced by the villi of the outer layer of the fetal membrane. They are connected to the blood vessels of the female body, provide the baby with nutrition, supplying nutrients from the mother's blood. This will be until about the end of the first trimester, until a full-fledged placenta is formed.

Chorionic gonadotropic hormone is present in a certain amount both in women outside of pregnancy and in men, but their content is extremely low (from 0 to 5 mU / ml). If a woman conceived a baby, then the rising level of hCG is designed to support the functioning of the corpus luteum on the surface of the ovaries. It is formed, regardless of the fact of fertilization or its absence, and producing progesterone.

In a normal cycle, not marked by completed fertilization, the corpus luteum is given a short period, already 9-11 days after ovulation, it begins to regress. The production of progesterone stops, and soon the usual monthly menstrual bleeding begins.

In the cycle, when the meeting of the germ cells of the parents took place, after successful implantation, the chorionic villi produce hCG, and its growth approximately doubles every two days.

It is on the basis of establishing traces of hCG in urine that absolutely all pregnancy tests that exist today are based. Whatever test you buy - a digital or regular strip, it will "work" the same way. The test has a working test area with an applied substance - a reagent that is highly sensitive to hCG molecules in the liquid. If the test captures the hormone, the reagent will color the second strip. If not, only one band is obtained - the control one, indicating that the test is working and suitable for use.

Considering that the hormone increases gradually and only after the implantation of the embryo has successfully taken place, manufacturers of test systems advise starting self-diagnosis from the first day of delay. By this time, the quantitative indicators of hCG in the urine are sufficient so that a test of any sensitivity can determine the desired substance.

Ultrasensitive test systems (with a threshold of 5-20 mIU / ml) can determine hCG even earlier, 2-4 days before the start of the delay, but manufacturers do not give guarantees of obtaining the most accurate result.

How do the results change by day?

We have already found out that at 2-3 DPO (the day after ovulation) the embryo is still on its way to the uterine cavity, and after it is in it (at 4 DPO), it can still be in a state of floating freely in the uterine cavity until it "sticks" to the inner wall of the uterus, and the complex process of immersion begins gestational sac into the endometrium. The implantation itself lasts about 40 hours, which is why it should not be surprising that the tests are negative at 5-6 DPO.

Until implantation is completed, hCG will not be produced. The normal time for implantation is 5-9 days after ovulation. The later it is performed, the later the tests will begin to show the cherished and long-awaited two stripes.

The increase in hCG in the urine is an individual matter. It depends on the work of the kidneys, metabolism, the age of the woman and the mass of factors that are not directly related to pregnancy. Therefore, it is customary to evaluate the dynamics of the growth of the hormone in the blood - it is more constant and applicable to different women. Please note that when multiple pregnancy quantitative indicators are doubled (if there are two embryos).

In urine, quantitative indicators will be less impressive, and this is quite natural.

Let's consider what happens to test systems by day. Everything is pretty simple here. If the test is ultrasensitive (the sensitivity is indicated on the package from 5 to 10 units per milliliter, mIu / ml), then there is a real chance that such a device will show a weak second strip as early as 8-9-10 days after the release of the egg, that is, 4 days before expected menstruation.

Sensitive tests (with a threshold of up to 20 units per milliliter inclusive) are able to mark the second strip on the 12-13th day after ovulation (2-3 days before the expected menstruation).

Tests with a standard sensitivity threshold (from 25 to 30 units per milliliter) can show a second strip (weakly or more clearly) after the onset of the delay - from 15 DPO.

Please note that the table shows the minimum and maximum values. In order not to be mistaken, focus on the minimum, and then you will definitely be able to choose the right day to start testing with the most accurate result.

Pay attention to the increase in the amount of the hormone in the blood on the days of the cycle before and after the delay. This will be the answer to the question why the strip, which was initially weak at 11-12 DPO, becomes brighter - the level of chorionic hormone rises, and the reagent marks this with a brighter color.

DPO signs of pregnancy

Doctors are often skeptical about the described signs of pregnancy before the delay, arguing that the changes in the body of the expectant mother during this period are insignificant and there are no pronounced symptoms. However, many future and already held mothers identify a number of signs by which they suspected pregnancy even before the delay in menstruation.

7-10 DPO: signs of pregnancy

This is the standard period of implantation. May be accompanied by bloody brownish discharge with a tendency to decrease in profusion, pulling or tingling sensations in the lower abdomen, lumbar region, a feeling of warmth, burning in the uterus. Also, during implantation, chills, a slight increase in axillary temperature, and a sore throat can be observed.
Metamorphoses can also occur with the breast: if a woman in a non-pregnant state in the second phase of the cycle had a breast, then this may not happen during pregnancy. And vice versa: many girls note an increase in the volume and sensitivity of the mammary glands that is uncharacteristic for them.
Appetite during this period often increases - nausea of pregnant women, if it occurs, then later, when the level of hCG rises significantly. Food preferences may change. Some women report a metallic taste when eating.
In the rhythm of a woman's life, pregnancy also has its own adjustments: in some women, performance decreases due to increased fatigue, a feeling of weakness, while in others, on the contrary, there is a surge of strength and energy. However, both of them are characterized by some absent-mindedness.

11-13 DPO: signs of pregnancy

During this period, an increase in the volume of the vaginal discharge may be observed, however, the nature of the discharge should not be pathological.
Swelling, a feeling of fullness and pulling pains in the lower abdomen persist, indigestion is possible.
The mood is changeable, excessive emotionality is possible.
The sense of smell is intensified.
Frequent urge to urinate.

Test types

In pharmacies, you can find the following pregnancy tests:

strip strips;
tablet;
jet;
electronic.

They are all used in approximately the same way - urine is applied to the receiving end of the device, after which a chemical reaction occurs and information about the level of hCG is displayed.

short cycle

Sometimes there are girls with a short menstrual cycle. They have about 20-21 days from menstruation to menstruation. This is a rare occurrence, but it does happen.

Under such circumstances, ovulation occurs on the 10th day after the onset of menstrual bleeding. And a new cycle should come in another 10-11 days. What does it mean?

At what DPO to take a pregnancy test

The reagent in pregnancy tests works on the hCG hormone. The secretion of the latter begins the next day after the introduction of the embryo into the wall of the uterus - implantation. Implantation usually occurs between 7 and 10 DPO, but in about 10 percent of cases it can be a day or two earlier or later. If not enough time has passed since implantation, the test will be false negative. And vice versa: with early implantation, the result can be known much earlier than the day of delay.

The level of hCG produced normally has a fairly wide range. The less the hormone is produced in the female body, the less it will enter the urine, and the more difficult the task will be for a home rapid pregnancy test.

Sensitivity of pregnancy test. This indicator indicates the minimum amount of the hormone that the express test can respond to. Ultrasensitive tests are capable of diagnosing pregnancy when the hCG content in urine is 10 mIU / ml, which corresponds to 7-10 DPO. A pregnancy test with a sensitivity of 15 mIU/mL is unlikely to show a positive result before 12 DPO. Pregnancy tests with a sensitivity of 20 mIU / ml are intended for use from day 13 of DPO, with a sensitivity of 25 mIU / ml - from 14 DPO.
In the first weeks after ovulation, a negative express test cannot be interpreted with absolute certainty as the absence of pregnancy, therefore, if a negative result is obtained, it is recommended to repeat the express test after a few days.

Proper preparation for express diagnostics. In the early stages, to obtain a reliable result, it is recommended to use a more concentrated urine. The first urine in the morning is ideal, but you can also use urine that has been in bladder over 4 hours. To avoid dilution of urine on the eve of testing, do not consume a large number of fluids, diuretic products, or medications.

The sensitivity of the test is to blame

Day 10 DPO test negative? Do not get upset ahead of time! It is not a fact that the indications of the device for home confirmation of pregnancy are not false.

The thing is that modern pregnancy tests have different sensitivities. The smaller the number on the test package, the more accurate it will be.

To date, you can find devices with a sensitivity of 25, 20 and 10 Mme / ml. Most of the tests have the first “type of accuracy”. This is enough to determine pregnancy in the first days of a missed period in most cases.

The low sensitivity of the test often leads to the fact that a woman sees a false result - the device “says” that there is no pregnancy, but in fact it does occur.

Watching in dynamics

10 dpo pregnancy test negative? As we found out, there is hope for the successful conception of a child in one or another menstrual cycle. The main thing is not to rush and be patient.

Moreover, in order not to be nervous once again, you can trace the changes in the test results over time. For example, buy a few strips and check daily.

So you can often see a negative test first, then a “ghost”, and after a few days a clear second strip. Unfortunately, many factors can contribute to a false test result. Because of them, women often experience false negative and false positive results.

Planned ultrasound during pregnancy

Electronic tests and early diagnosis

10 dpo test negative? Pulling the lower abdomen? This can be a sign of pregnancy, and approaching menstruation. This is how a woman's body reacts to most hormonal changes.

Is there any hope?

From the foregoing, it follows that there is a hope for pregnancy in the situation described, and rather big. The main thing is to be patient and wait a bit.

What does the test respond to?

10-11 DPO – negative test? Before you get upset or happy, you need to understand how pregnancy tests work. Everything is extremely simple and clear even to a schoolboy.

Modern rapid tests allow you to determine pregnancy in the early stages. They respond to an increase in the level of hCG in the urine. In a healthy body, this hormone is absent.

Why is there no stripe?

10-11 DPO test negative? This is quite normal. It is recommended to simply repeat the diagnosis after a few days. It is advisable to wait for the delay of menstruation.

Why doesn't a second line appear on a pregnancy test? The reasons may be different. For example:

early diagnosis;
fetal pathology;
the presence of chronic diseases that reduce the production of hCG;
violation of the verification procedure;
