Too soon???

Question

I did some checking on the internet and if I am pregnant I am about 2 weeks along. Is that still too soon to do a hpt? I am pretty confident I am pregnant. Sore boobs, nauses all the time, the smell of certian foods that i normally love make me want to vomit. I am so tired I can barely hold my eyes opened and thats even after hours of sleep. I am so moody I can't help it. So like I said I am pretty confident what's going on. I am just not sure if its too soon for a hpt. Any help with this would be very grateful.


please only serious answers.

Answer 1

How soon can I test? Well, first you gotta know how the test works. Briefly: the home pregnancy test (HPT) works by detecting a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG.) When an egg is fertilized, it takes about 6 to 12 days to implant in the uterus, and then it begins to secrete hCG. It takes another day or two for enough hCG to build up and make its way into your pee. So, generally speaking, the earliest you can expect a positive HPT is 8 days past ovulation ("DPO") and the latest would be about 16 DPO. It is possible to get a positive test earlier or later, but not as common. In my experience, if you use a sensitive "early" test (anything that detects 25 mIU/mL of hCG or less) you can test around 12-14 DPO and feel reasonably secure with your results (the later you test, the more secure you can feel in its accuracy.)

If you do not chart or monitor your fertility in any way, and you think you may have conceived, you should wait 19 days (or longer) after having sex to test. Why 19?! Sperm can live approximately 5 days in the proper environment; if the sperm managed to live until you popped an egg, the actual conception could have taken place several days after the sex act that got the sperm there. To make sure you're not testing too early, assume the sperm had very long lives (5 days is considered a very long sperm life) and that conception occurred then. Then allow 14 days for the embryo to implant and develop enough hCG to show up on a pregnancy test (96% of pregnant women will test positive by then.)

Answer 2

2 weeks pregnant is the week you ovulate. you arent actually pregnant the first two weeks. you left out the key sign of pregnancy a missed period so everything before that could be stress your period coming or an illness. if your late test otherwise see your doctor. i was always tired and found out recently my thyroid wasnt working

Answer 3

you know its true women get signs of being pregnant 24-48 hours after they concive for many that is true i would leave it another week before testing you can buy them ones that tell you before your period is due

Answer 4

I would say if you're are already having symptoms your good to test. The horomone has to be high enough to be detected by the test and if you are already experiencing symptoms it should be. good luck!
