How do you know you have conceived?

· Wait to see if you get your period. If you don't then you take a hpt.
· Next time you see your doctor, ask them for a pregnancy blood test.

Does smoking marijuana influence pregnancy test results?

No. The use of marijuana doesn't influence the results of a pregnancy test.
Can drug use affect the results of a pregnancy test?

The instructions on the home pregnancy test I checked say that the only drug that should affect your test is if you get an HCG shot.

How accurate is the EPT test if done after missed period?

They are pretty accurate, but she should wait a few days to a week and take another one. If she still hasn't had a regular period, she should go to a doctor. Stress can cause irregular periods.

If you are taking Depo Provera for birth control can it affect the results of a pregnancy test?

Depo-provera is like any other form of birth control ... you just don't have to remember to take a pill everyday. Even if you are on this type of birth control, your results on a pregnancy test shouldn't in any way be affected because there is a hormone that a pregnant woman produces in early pregnancy. This hormone is actually the hormone that detects whether you are pregnant or not. It's best to do a pregnancy test after you've had a missed menstrual cycle although a test can turn up possitive within 10 days of concieving. If you have missed a cycle, I would contact your doctor to get a confirmed answer.
How many pregnancy tests should you take?

Home pregnancy tests are only 50% reliable if you are not pregnant, but almost 100% reliable if you are pregnant. In other words, they are not very reliable. (They are much more likely to tell you that you are pregnant if you are not than to tell you are not pregnant if you are.)
It is better to see a doctor to have a blood test and ease your stress.

Could your HCG level go up because of what you eat or something else if you are not pregnant?

HCG IS not related to dietary intake. Certain fertility drugs could cause hcg levels to rise.
How soon is a home pregnancy test accurate?

A pregnancy test can be positive before you even have missed a period. Many tests can provide positive results within 10 days after you become pregnant, however it is usually best to wait until you've missed a period because the HCG hormone (the hormone found in early pregnancy)will be stronger which in that case will give you definite results.

When is the earliest you can take a pregnancy test?

Most tests can be taken one day after a missed period. Some can be taken sooner. Read the boxes and it will let you know.
If one line on a pregnancy test was very faint but you

How soon will a urine test show if you are pregnant?

Your home pregnancy test will usually not display a positive result until a day or two after your expected period (not a large enough hormone level in your body to be detected). You may just be stressing yourself out (that is why you are not sleeping/depressed). Best of luck to you.

What is the earliest time a pregnancy be detected and when can a blood test detect the pregnancy?

The earliest time a pregnancy be detected is about 3 weeks thats when your hormone level is up and it is easier to detect a blood test can detect the pregnancy from about 2 weeks it is more accurate as well.
