Pregnancy, perhaps, is exactly the state that every woman awaits with trepidation.

It's just amazing when you know and feel how a little man grows inside, or, but already loved and desired.

For many, this is such a long-awaited moment that, almost immediately after conception, they begin to listen to the behavior of their body in order to recognize the symptoms of pregnancy in time.

But it is unlikely that such a state can be recognized literally in the first days.

Early signs should be at least a week away.

But even in this case, it will not be a 100% guarantee of a positive result. A more accurate answer can only be given by a gynecologist, after a delay in menstruation, and not earlier than after 4-5 weeks, as a result of a complete examination.

There are several signs by which pregnancy can be determined.

They are divided into:

1. doubtful, i.e. not giving any guarantee, but having a place to be,
2. probable, which the doctor takes into account,
3. reliable, confirmed by diagnostics.

Pregnancy symptoms are characterized by a set of certain physiological changes that occur in a woman's body.

Often, for many, even in the early stages, you can see the first signs that conception has occurred.

Doubtful signs

An ambulance call is required immediately so that it is possible to provide medical assistance in time to save the fetus.

In order not to confuse them with normal menstruation: such bleeding does not have to be profuse, but may be accompanied by either severe or unusually pulling pain in the lower abdomen.

Reliable signs

If you look at all these signs together, then we can confidently conclude that the symptoms of early pregnancy are very similar to a cold.

Therefore, in the first days of conception, it is quite difficult to determine most accurately whether a woman is in an interesting position. But how can you find out about conception even before the delay of menstruation, in the early stages?

• This can help.

It shows the result already in the first 10 days, because. this hormone begins to be produced only after the embryo is fixed on the wall of the uterus.

The first question is when in question about possible pregnancy concerns reliable signs that indicated that conception actually occurred.

Since the signs of pregnancy are felt in many women in different ways, and may not give sensations at all, women often find out about pregnancy quite late.

Attention! More vivid signs in most women are noted only after the second month of pregnancy. There are frequent cases when a woman feels the movements of the fetus and only then realizes that she is carrying a child. Even an increase in the abdomen is often not associated with gestation. Especially often, late diagnosis of pregnancy occurs in women with menstrual irregularities, when the absence of menstruation is associated with a cycle failure.

The sensations that a woman pays attention to depend on several factors, the main of which are:

• individual characteristics of the woman's body;
• general health;
• health status at the time of pregnancy;
• functional state of organs and systems at the time of pregnancy;
• woman's age;
• body weight of a woman;
• number of previous pregnancies;
• psycho-emotional background at the time of conception and features nervous system women.

Is it possible to find out about pregnancy if only a few days have passed since conception?

In some women, the symptoms of pregnancy are pronounced already literally in the first few days from the moment of conception.

Important! A woman may have several characteristic signs, or maybe only one or two symptoms. Many women feel nothing at all. Therefore, it is worth doing a high-quality pregnancy test at home, following all the prescribed instructions, or visiting a gynecologist.

The main symptoms of early pregnancy

The appearance of colorless vaginal discharge, often profuse.

This is the most common symptom of pregnancy, which is often observed within a day or two after the onset of conception. If the discharge does not have a suspicious smell and consistency, is homogeneous and transparent, then this is the norm. Already by the 13th week, the discharge liquefies and resembles water.

Attention! If a woman suspects that pregnancy could have occurred, and vaginal discharge has not characteristic shade(yellow-green), have a heterogeneous consistency, a suspicious smell or blood impurities, you should immediately consult a doctor. No need to risk your health and self-medicate. No douching and folk methods do not need to be used!

Increased sensitivity of the mammary glands.

Women note that the chest becomes heavy, poured, pain is not uncommon.

Attention! Often, pain in the mammary glands, a feeling of tingling and heaviness is observed in women before the onset of menstruation. The fact that pregnancy has come, an attentive woman can guess by the sensations in the chest that are uncharacteristic of premenstrual syndrome.

Often, women pay attention to the special sensitivity of the breast in the nipple area during early pregnancy. The nipples become larger and darker already in the later period.

Decreased mood, depression, feeling tired and general malaise.

These are fairly common signs that are usually ignored and not associated with the onset of pregnancy. Often, such symptoms are attributed to acute respiratory infections or accumulated physical and emotional fatigue.
Attention! You can not ignore your condition if you suspect you are pregnant and you have:

• headache;
• too fast fatigue;
• too much nervousness;
• general weakness;
• sudden mood swings;
• an increase in body temperature, even a slight one.

You should visit a doctor if the above symptoms have become persistent and do not disappear on their own after a short period of time.

Pregnancy in the early stages. Physiological changes in the body

Certain signs that were not there before may appear about ten days after conception. Such signs can be symptoms of pathologies, therefore, they require an appointment with a specialist.

Dark vaginal discharge.

Such discharge is a consequence of physiological changes in a woman's body. Symptoms are typical for a gestation period of one to two weeks and are called implantation bleeding.

Attention! This symptomatology is often confused with the onset of menstruation. Especially often an erroneous conclusion is made by those women who had meager periods before pregnancy. Therefore, a woman continues to lead her usual way of life and endangers her health and the health of her unborn child.

Cause of implantation bleeding
Since a few days after the onset of pregnancy, the implantation of a fertilized egg into the wall of the uterus occurs, there is a simultaneous damage to some blood vessels in the uterus. A small amount of blood is expelled out through the vagina.
If the pregnancy proceeds without complications, then implantation bleeding lasts about two days. With a longer period of such discharge or their abundance, you should immediately consult a doctor, as there is a threat of miscarriage.

Drawing pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.

The second half of the cycle is characterized by the appearance of a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, since during a normal menstrual cycle, ovulation occurs just from the 14th to the 16th day.

Attention! A woman should pay attention to the fact that the time for ovulation has already passed, and the time for the onset of menstruation has not yet come. At the same time, she feels characteristic signs - pain and heaviness in the lower abdomen. Most often, this symptom indicates the onset of pregnancy. Such pains, especially intense ones, are not the norm. Therefore, you should visit a doctor. Pain may indicate a threatened miscarriage.

Nausea and/or vomiting.

Is one of the most characteristic signs of pregnancy . Even for short periods, the vast majority of women are able to determine pregnancy precisely on this basis.
Why do you feel sick, especially in the morning? Why does vomiting occur?

It is during this period that the hormone progesterone, prolactin and hCG begins to be actively produced in the body. If a woman's gastrointestinal tract did not function very well before, then the signs become even brighter.

Weight loss or weight gain.

Weight changes can be in any direction - so women can gain weight, or they can begin to lose weight dramatically already in the early stages of pregnancy.

With the preservation of the usual lifestyle and diet, the absence of a stress factor or any other life circumstances, a sharp change in body weight can be a sign of pregnancy.
The reason for weight fluctuations in early pregnancy is a change in hormonal levels.
Why is there a sharp decrease in body weight?

This is usually associated with the development of severe toxicosis, then the fat layer is simply not able to form, as the woman suffers from nausea, vomiting, stool disorders (diarrhea). It is necessary to identify such symptoms from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

So is there a pregnancy?

Everything mentioned above may be signs of any pathologies of the body, and not pregnancy.

So, diseases of the reproductive system can also manifest themselves in a similar way. And not only them.

Pregnancy in the early stages can be confirmed by a quality test offered by the pharmacy chain. When buying a test, you should not save!

The test must be done according to the rules and several times. Only then can you be sure of its authenticity.

Examinations can also be done in a medical laboratory, where urine and blood are taken for analysis.

When the delay in menstruation is long and everything suggests that several weeks have passed since the moment of conception, a new symptomatology appears. Such symptoms indicate the course of pregnancy and any woman should be fully informed about them.

Bleeding or pain normal pregnancy should be absent.

Symptoms of pregnancy in the early stages of two weeks

If about two weeks have passed since the moment of conception, and menstruation should come in time, but they are not, then the delay in menstruation is the most obvious sign of pregnancy. However, this can be argued only if menstruation has always come on time so far.

It should be noted that menstrual irregularities can be:

• a sign of diseases of the reproductive system;
• a consequence of any external factors (climate change, severe stress, severe infectious disease, etc.)

Attention! There are high-quality tests on the market, with the help of which testing can be carried out already on the first day of two delays. If a negative result is obtained, the test is recommended to be repeated after a few days, when the level of hCG increases.

Test results may be affected by:

• violation of instructions by a woman;
• low-quality cheap test;
• insufficient levels of the hCG hormone.

An increase in basal temperature.

Such testing requires accuracy and patience. For the procedure, it is necessary to measure the temperature with a mercury thermometer. The thermometer is placed in the rectum, the procedure is carried out in the morning without getting out of bed. After conception, the basal temperature reaches a rate above 37 degrees.
To obtain a reliable result, it is necessary to carry out measurements for seven or even more days. Therefore, it is easier to do a pregnancy test at home.

An increase in the size of the uterus, visual changes in the cervix.

Similar symptoms can be detected during a gynecological examination. An experienced doctor visually ascertains a change in the color of the cervix (bluish tint), an increase in the size of the uterus.

This defines:

• the true gestational age from the moment of conception;
• obstetric period, which is calculated from the time of the last menstruation.

Important! Early signs of pregnancy are not reliable, since each organism is individual. It is impossible to accurately diagnose "Pregnancy" only on the basis of the listed symptoms.

Ectopic pregnancy. What should a woman know?

An ectopic pregnancy is a pathology that can end in tragedy if you do not see a doctor in time.

The fertilized egg in this case is attached not in the uterus, but in the ovary, tubes or abdominal cavity.

Such a pregnancy is dangerous for a woman. The bearing of the fetus does not occur with it and the child cannot be born.

It happens that the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are no different from normal, and the pathology is detected in an emergency.

Ectopic pregnancy. Why is it dangerous?

The fertilized egg begins to develop. But the place where it is attached is not designed for this, because over time, due to an unbearable load, stretching occurs. For example, during tubal pregnancy, when stretching becomes critical, the lining of the fallopian tube is torn.

Complications - the penetration of blood, mucus and the ovum itself into the abdominal cavity. Infection occurs, very strong, simply unbearable pain occurs, peritonitis is formed. As a result of damage to the blood vessels, there is severe bleeding in the abdominal cavity.

Important! This condition requires immediate hospitalization and being in the intensive care unit (reanimation) under the constant supervision of doctors.

If an ectopic pregnancy is not tubal (ovarian or abdominal), then the signs of its manifestation are already different, but this does not reduce the danger, since in this situation there is a risk of developing peritonitis.

Ectopic pregnancy. Characteristic symptoms

pain

Any pain in the lower abdomen early term pregnancy requires immediate medical attention. This is the most common symptom of an ectopic pregnancy.

Pain characteristics:

• on one side of the abdomen, where the egg was attached;
• pain in the median area during cervical pregnancy or the location of the egg in the abdominal cavity;
• increased pain when changing body position, walking, especially when turning the body.

With the development of the fetus in the widest zone of the fallopian tube (ampulla), pain appears by about 8 weeks from the onset of conception. If the egg is attached to the isthmus (the narrowest part of the tube), then the pain appears already by the fifth or sixth week of pregnancy.

Attention! With an ovarian or abdominal ectopic pregnancy, the first four weeks are asymptomatic. With cervical pregnancy (the egg is located in the cervix), pain may not appear.

Bloody discharge is the most common symptom of an ectopic pregnancy.

Abundant and prolonged bleeding from the vagina is a symptom of cervical pregnancy, since fertilized egg attached in a place where there are many blood vessels.

Important! This condition is very dangerous for a woman. Often such a pregnancy is accompanied by a large loss of blood. The location of the embryo contributes to the risk of removing the uterus to save the woman.

Tubal ectopic pregnancy - symptoms

This ectopic pregnancy is the most common.

Signs:

• bleeding, which indicates damage to the walls of the fallopian tube;
• bloody vaginal discharge during spontaneous detachment of the fetal egg in the absence of rupture of the tube (tubal spontaneous abortion).

How to determine an ectopic pregnancy?

It is necessary to take into account not only the above symptoms, but also other, more effective ways to determine an ectopic pregnancy.

The study is carried out on the basis of laboratory tests prescribed by a doctor.

What should alert a woman?

If a weak second strip was found during home testing, this should alert. It is necessary to carry out this procedure a second time.

When repeating the result, we can conclude that there is a slight increase in hCG (a hormone that is a companion of pregnancy).

Why is laboratory analysis needed?

The analysis determines the amount of hCG in the blood, according to which doctors can more accurately clarify the picture, since when the embryo is fixed in the uterus, the amount of this hormone changes with the gestational age. At the same time, its quantitative content is steadily increasing, and if there is a discrepancy with the norm, an ectopic pregnancy can be suspected.

Waiting for an addition to the house is a state that is hard to miss. And yet, most would like to know about it from the very beginning, in order to exclude a possible negative impact due to malnutrition, bad habits. For others, this is necessary for a faster and therefore safe disposal of the fetus. Therefore, many are looking for methods on how to determine pregnancy in the early stages for sure with the greatest accuracy.

External signs of the presence of the fetus

After conception, the body changes so much that even when the embryo is still very tiny, one can suspect its presence by the appearance of a woman. Knowing how to determine pregnancy by external signs is not suitable for everyone, because in some they appear indistinctly.

Leather

After the connection of the egg with the sperm, its shell begins to intensively produce. The hormone is designed by nature to give special properties to the endometrium. It becomes more pliable so that the fetal egg can comfortably settle in it. But progesterone also has an effect on the skin. It enhances the production of its fat glands, which often provokes the appearance of pimples on the face, chest, back. The definition of pregnancy in the early stages is real even by the fact that for some the skin simply becomes more oily, shiny. Others have to wash their hair more often, as they get dirty faster than before, become greasy.
Another skin-related sign that gives a chance to know how to spot an early pregnancy is hyperpigmentation. On the face, décolleté and from the chest to the navel, a woman has spots that look like freckles. A change in the hormonal balance leads to an uneven distribution of melanin in the epidermis, due to which they are formed.

Breast

The mammary glands are prepared for the main function from the very beginning. Therefore, they are one of the first to tell you how to find out pregnancy in the early stages. The chest becomes more sensitive to minimal contact, but also more rounded, seductive. Due to the increase in the milk lobules and the expansion of the ducts, it increases in size, it feels heavy, swollen.
Pregnancy in the early stages will help determine changes in the nipples and skin around them. From soft pink, it becomes brownish, tubercles become noticeable on the areoles. The nipples look more prominent, as if sexually aroused.

How feelings change

How to determine pregnancy without tests? A woman's own feelings can help if she is attentive to them. Hormonal changes give a completely different perception of familiar things. It can affect unexpected aspects of life.

Character

A pregnant woman may suddenly have a rejection of what previously did not cause much emotion. It's about smells, someone's actions, people, even lighting and sounds. This is manifested by irritability, outbursts of anger, after which fatigue is clearly felt, even drowsiness. For some, the last sensations are always present. This is one of the surest signs of how to detect pregnancy in the early stages. Because in a normal state and with a normal level of female hormones, it is easier for a lady to control herself and her feelings.

Food perception

After conception, a woman's taste preferences can inexplicably change. Food, which previously left indifferent, becomes necessary. Or earlier, a favorite food begins to cause disgust to the point of vomiting from its aroma alone. This is another manifestation that will clearly demonstrate how to recognize pregnancy in the early stages.
Another nuance regarding eating behavior is its variability. suddenly turns into a complete disgust for food. The last sign is more often observed in the morning.
A woman also appears regardless of the meal. Some have to constantly carry wipes with them to get rid of the liquid.

Thanks to the reverse manifestation of food preferences, you can understand how to distinguish the symptoms of PMS from pregnancy, because some of them are similar. But premenstrual bursts of desire are characterized more good appetite and interest in sweets, and by no means increased salivation and aversion to food.

Accurate signs of fertilization that has occurred

To understand how to accurately determine pregnancy in the early stages, you should present the changes that accompany this condition. The most important of them are associated with the renewal of hormonal balance. And it gives other manifestations.

Basal temperature

(BT) women after conception changes. This can be traced if measurements are taken rectally or in the vagina for at least the entire last cycle before conception. After ovulation, in which it happened, BT remains at fairly high values. Whereas if it were not for the new situation, it would have declined.
We must not forget that such a definition of pregnancy in the early stages before the delay may be a symptom of the disease. Therefore, it is advisable to seriously consider it only together with other signs.

Implantation

Conception does not take place in the uterus, as some might think. Before getting there, the egg travels a path that takes 6-8 days. This will be the earliest term for determining pregnancy before the delay. The fetus manages to leave distinct traces of its presence in the body. Important is the stage of its screwing into the wall of the uterus. This is accompanied by injury to the mucosal vessels, which present moment is getting bigger. The external result of the implantation of the fetal egg is weak. This is another indicative factor, how to accurately determine pregnancy in the early stages. Simultaneously with, which will last no longer than 2 days, there is a slight pain in the abdomen.

Why often pulls to the toilet

Early detection of pregnancy may be based on changes in the functioning of the urinary system. To ensure the growth and nutrition of the embryo, the body directs an increased amount of blood to the small pelvis. The number of vessels is also growing. This stimulates the bladder. Its walls are more likely to contract, which causes a desire to urinate. By ear, the sign is perceived as a symptom. But with frequent urination due to pregnancy, pain should not be felt, as it happens due to illness.

Delay

It is not difficult to understand how to more reliably determine pregnancy in the early stages if you know the mechanism for the development of the processes occurring in the reproductive organs. One of them concerns the lining of the uterus, which is regularly replaced in the absence of conception. But when it took place, the endometrium remains in place for 9 months without changes, that is, the entire period while the fetal egg remains in it. This means that all the time the woman will not menstruate. And her first absence on time is considered enough exact sign pregnancy.

At the doctor's

Of course, the methods by which the doctor determines pregnancy in the early stages are considered the most correct. After all, he has at his disposal the equipment intended for this, special knowledge and the results of laboratory studies:

• Research on HCG. The presence of an embryo in the body is marked by the appearance of a new substance in the biological fluids. It is isolated by blood tests or. This can also be done with a home test. But the laboratory will detect hCG one hundred percent.
• ultrasound. With the help of the device, you can see the fetal egg, the place of its fixation, calculate the size. How a gynecologist determines pregnancy in the early stages through examinations, and the result will depend on the technical data of the device. If he has a vaginal sensor, it is even possible to accurately determine how many weeks the embryo is.
• Chair examination. The specialist knows exactly how to find pregnancy in the early stages. The fertilized egg itself is still imperceptible, but the tissues of the reproductive organs are changing. The mucous membranes become cyanotic due to increased blood supply, the uterus is more edematous, its neck is softer.

There is a noticeable increase in the breast, menstruation is delayed, causeless nausea, dizziness and weakness may appear. If the first suspicions of pregnancy appear, it is necessary to visit a gynecologist, who, in turn, will give a referral for testing and ultrasound. Based on the diagnostic results, the gestational age is determined. But sometimes it happens that there is no way to find out about pregnancy using medical methods. In such cases, the old methods of our grandmothers come to the rescue.

Methods for determining pregnancy

You can determine pregnancy without a test in the early stages by carefully monitoring changes in the body. When a girl is pregnant, hormonal and physiological changes take place in her body, which manifest themselves as a variable in general well-being and obvious changes in the body.

The very first symptoms of pregnancy are:

1. The appearance of dizziness often accompanies the first weeks of pregnancy. This condition occurs due to an increase in hormones and a sharp change in hormonal levels.
2. The body temperature rises due to the fact that the embryo located in the fallopian tubes is perceived by the body as a foreign body. As a result, the work includes the immune system. In the first stages of pregnancy, body temperature with indicators of 37-37.5 o C is considered the norm.
3. A pregnant girl may have a stuffy nose at first. This is due to increased blood flow. This process causes swelling of the mucous membranes. Sometimes this can become a serious problem. To avoid complications, you need to consult a doctor.
4. Breast enlargement and swelling of the nipples is considered to be one of the clear signs of pregnancy. This process occurs in connection with the preparation of the body for the upcoming lactation.
5. In most cases, if a girl becomes pregnant, there are pulling pains in the lower abdomen and navel. Pain occurs due to the exit of the embryo from the fallopian tubes and implantation into the walls of the uterus. Sometimes this process can be accompanied by small bleeding, which is very similar to menstruation.

All these signs are not a guarantee of pregnancy, they may appear due to fatigue or the development of a cold. When these symptoms appear, it is best to visit your doctor.

How to understand that you are pregnant

Pregnancy can also be recognized by such clear and characteristic signs. The appearance of toxicosis is the most characteristic sign of pregnancy in the early stages. Nausea and gag reflex in the first weeks accompanies almost every pregnant woman. Also, early pregnancy can manifest itself in a slight increase in weight. This may be due to improved appetite or fluid retention in the body.

Pregnancy causes physiological processes in a woman's body that improve the sense of smell and vision. Taste preferences may also change.

A clear sign of pregnancy can be hypersensitivity and excessive sentimentality. A woman has sudden mood swings, any little thing causes resentment and tears. This is due to an excess of hormones. In the early stages of pregnancy, a woman's body spends great amount energy and therefore permanent drowsiness may occur. A hormonal surge in a woman's body as a result of conception can cause the formation age spots or papillomas. Most often, this sign appears on more later dates pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the uterus actively grows, resulting in pressure on the surrounding organs. The bladder is the first to suffer. This process causes frequent urination. Frequent urge to go to the toilet against the background of complete health is a characteristic sign of pregnancy. In most cases, thoughts about pregnancy visit a woman more on an intuitive level due to changes in the body and some characteristic signs.

Recommendations: how to determine pregnancy at home

Many girls want to become pregnant, while they plan in advance, draw up body temperature charts, calculate favorable days for conception, and then, with trepidation and bated breath, expect a positive result. Previously, it was determined whether a girl was pregnant, according to characteristic manifestations.

During the planning and expectation of conception, only folk methods were used, because before there were no special tests.

To determine pregnancy at home, the above methods were used, which some women use to this day. Traditional methods do not give a 100% result, but in most cases the results are true. If you follow the exact instructions and rules for conducting home tests, you can establish an interesting position at the earliest stages.

Modern methods involve the use of Internet resources. For this, a special online check has been developed, which can be used for free. Based on the data, the program calculates the presence of pregnancy, how many weeks the pregnancy lasts. Especially this one online test relevant for girls who are preparing to become a mother for the first time.

To understand that you are pregnant, before the delay, several time-tested methods will help. The most effective way is to determine the basal body temperature. This method is most often used to determine auspicious days conception. For a more accurate result, the graph of basal temperatures must be maintained systematically. Correct measurements will help a woman answer many questions.

For measurement, there are certain rules that must be strictly observed.:

• Basal temperature should be measured in the early hours of the morning immediately after waking up;
• Active movement is not recommended, it can distort the data;
• This must be done every day at the same time;
• It is necessary to record the reading from the first day of the cycle;
• Before measurements, the duration of sleep should be at least 6 hours;
• All readings are recorded as a graph;
• Measurements are taken with a mercury thermometer.

The basal temperature remains high almost until the most monthly, and a few days before their appearance decreases. Based on these data, if the temperature before menstruation continues to be high, this may be a clear sign of pregnancy.

Home pregnancy test

If pregnancy has occurred, you can calculate it at an early stage by conducting simple tests. For this, materials are used that can always be found at home. You can check for pregnancy with the help of pharmacy iodine.

In order to pass a home test, you will need a strip of white paper and a small amount of iodine.

The paper must be dipped in pre-collected urine for a few seconds. Next, a strip of paper is taken out and a few drops of iodine solution are dripped. In the presence of pregnancy, the color of the paper turns into a light purple color. If a saturated purple tone appears, then the test is negative. You can do this test at home at any time of the day.

The advantage of this method is the ease of implementation and minimal cost. Money. The downside is the inaccuracy of the result. So at the first suspicion of pregnancy, it is recommended to undergo a full diagnosis under the supervision of an experienced specialist. Pain in the thoracic area indicates a load on the heart.

A few more ways: how to know that you are pregnant

An early symptom of pregnancy is the production of hCG. This hormone is produced to form the placenta. Determining the increase in this hormone at home can be done in several ways. Many are interested in the question, can I find out about pregnancy myself? The first and simplest is the use of special tests. But if it is not possible to use a ready-made test, you can try folk methods, which are an alternative to medical analysis.

Folk methods:

1. First and effective method that shows pregnancy is considered to be the use of baking soda, which can always be found at home in the kitchen. To do this, you need to collect morning urine in a clean container. Then add baking soda to it. As a result of the combination of soda with urine, a chemical reaction occurs. The liquid begins to foam and hiss. In cases of pregnancy, the reaction does not occur, and the soda will simply settle at the bottom of the container.
2. You can check for pregnancy with iodine, which is also always available in any home. The principle of the method is similar to the method for determining pregnancy using soda. To do this, it is necessary to pour urine into a clean container, into which one drop of iodine is added. If a particle of iodine lingers on the surface as a whole drop, this may indicate that the girl is pregnant. If the drop dissolves in a matter of seconds, this means that conception did not occur and the result of this test is negative.

Alternative methods can establish and help to see the presence of pregnancy, but cannot accurately determine its duration. Therefore, when you find the first signs of pregnancy in yourself, it is best to consult a doctor as soon as possible. Discharge, if the breast is enlarged, should be given special attention. On the nipples - they can darken. In addition, you can make sure that you are pregnant at the gynecologist, by touch, or by smear, in the absence of menstruation.

Information: how to determine pregnancy in the early stages

Detecting pregnancy at a short time is not an easy task, but it is quite feasible. You can independently determine pregnancy by probing the pulse in the lower abdomen. The body of a woman during pregnancy experiences tremendous changes associated with an increase in the blood supply to all internal organs. In connection with these processes, blood flow in the uterus and tubes increases.

As a result, in the first days of conception, you can feel a quickening pulse in the abdomen.

To do this, you need to attach the fingers of one hand to the stomach just below the navel. At conception, the pulse will be rapid and well audible. By the pulse of a pregnant woman, even the sex of the unborn child can be revealed. This is a Chinese technique that has been used for over 700 years. In order to find out the sex of the baby, it is necessary to feel the pulse of the radial artery with the pads of the index, middle and ring fingers. If a future child male, then the pulse under the index finger will be sliding and quickened, and if the fetus is female, then the same pulse is heard on right hand. This technique is quite controversial and has various reviews. Therefore, you should not take the results of this study seriously, and a gynecologist will help diagnose pregnancy in the hospital. He will also tell you what test to take.

Summing up, we can say with confidence that in order to determine an interesting position, there are many ways and techniques. You can recognize pregnancy at home without the presence of special expensive tests. You can quickly find out about pregnancy using a conventional mercury thermometer, soda and iodine. You can also just carefully monitor any changes in the body.

Home pregnancy test (video)

Establishing an early pregnancy is necessary in order for a woman to start taking vitamins in a timely manner, organize proper sleep, and start eating right. And also information about pregnancy eliminates the risk of using medications that can harm the unborn baby. Unfortunately, home methods do not give an accurate result. When the first signs of pregnancy are detected, the girl should change her usual lifestyle.
