Pregnancy test 11 dpo negative. Why is it better not to do the test before the delay? The sensitivity of the test is to blame

I have 10DPO today! Well, there are no signs at all, as it seems to me, except for some invented or something. Type muddies and even such)

Yesterday evening, at 9DPO, I did a test, well, I'm a test addict, yes) And he gave me a weak second strip) I ran to my husband with shaking hands) And he sees her! Ahh! I barely survived 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 brightened)

The upper test is last night at 9DPO, at 9 o'clock, the lower one just now, at 10DPO)

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

Up to monthly 4 days! don't have to come on Monday now!)

Girls, when did your test show pregnancy ???

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

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

VikaFawal, I haven't had my period yet, and the test showed 2 strips ...

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

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

The girls are still 5 days before the delay, and my test shows 2 stripes, one is bright, and the second is not ... is this possible? and is everything good? is there a pregnancy or is there something wrong?

At about 12 DPO, I did it in the afternoon, the stripe was pale, after two days both stripes were already equal in brightness.

The very first ghost appeared on 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 stripe, and on the 7th day after the delay there was already a bright second stripe.

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

Girls, at 11 DPO did the test at about 6 in the morning. Negative. there was not even a ghost .. at lunchtime I made an inkjet (also evi) - the second strip immediately appeared. Quite clear, albeit pale. But you could see her well. At 12, 13 DPO tests are negative .. there is not even a ghost .. how can this be explained, can anyone tell me?

There is nothing more to do? if there is B, it will not go anywhere from you, is it really impossible to wait for a delay and do a test, and then go to hCG? Well, what's on the coffee grounds - guess what? July 21, 2013 12:37 pm

You know, sometimes people take pills, and it is very important to know in advance, otherwise there may be no delay. Always the sharpness amazes, you might think someone is forcing you to count the days until the delay New21 July 2013, 12:42

Then they go to the doctor and decide this issue, they go to take hCG on the appointed day. Well, what will we see from the photo? I always have such a test before my period. But I'm not pregnant. July 21, 2013 12:45 pm

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

  • "I would be glad ... just last month the tests also started streaking, but menstruation began 2 days earlier ((there was a miscarriage, they were striped after M ... and then they stopped, and now they start giving out again // ...
  • 09/14/12 9:38 PM "yeah, maybe when there is a pregnancy, this hCG immediately appears, and not after a delay, just then its concentration is already great! You can be congratulated!
  • 09/14/12 20:01 "And why not =) my test flashed at 9 DPO .. and a pale strip, and a distinct one, and the ultrasound showed 3 days before the CD =) Now my strip is humming next to hehhe =)

Well, it so happens that you can see it, but not in the photo. Do the next 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 your test sensitivity? Mine just allowed them to be done from 5 dpo already .. April 3, 2013 - 08:12

Well, it so happens that it can be seen, but not in the photo. Do it at 12dpo the next ... 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 allowed them to be done from 5 dpo already .. This is Evitest, sensitivity 20, I also did not show the test for a long time during my first pregnancy, only on the first day of the delay there was a barely visible strip, I even wicked it first)) April 3, 2013 - 08:35 Sorry, but I don't see the second strip 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 find out everything quickly, I myself have recently gone through this. I looked nervously at the tests. By the way, you can take a blood test for hCG, it will definitely show there is a pregnancy or not. I ended up doing just that. April 3, 2013 - 08:45

Thank you, don't apologize) I really don't have enough patience, it's just that our first baby turned out right away, so with this we want to immediately succeed, so that the children do not have a big age difference.

Old topic HERE. NO FLOOD! WITHOUT CHIKHOV! CONGRATULATIONS without fanaticism !!(or better in a personal!) Tests come in different sensitivities. 10 mIU / ml recognizes the pregnancy hormone (hCG) at a lower concentration. Such a test can determine pregnancy for more early term... 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 is impregnated with a reagent (antibodies to hCG). Morning urine contains the maximum amount of pregnancy hormone (hCG). Then place the strip on a horizontal surface and evaluate the result after a few minutes. If there is one red stripe - you are not pregnant, if there are two stripes - congratulations! (test cassettes) This is most often the same test strip, but in a plastic plate and does not need to be immersed in liquid. There are two windows on the front side of the dough. A little urine should be dripped into the first window of the small box with a pipette, which is attached to the test, and the second (control) window will show you the result within a few minutes. Same sensitivity and quality as test strips, but higher price. spoiler! The most modern tests. The receiving end of the test just needs to be placed 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. Electronic test Convenient in that you do not need to break your eyes to see if there is a strip or not. Electronic tests are the most expensive. When are there incorrect results? 1.if the test is done too early, when the hCG level is very low 2. if the rules of the instruction are not followed and the test is performed incorrectly 3. if you drink too much liquid, which can dilute the urine and reduce the concentration of the pregnancy hormone in it if the test is overdue

Has 10 DPO come? 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 fact is that pregnancy, ovulation and the timing of the pregnancy test are closely related. If you do not take this into account, you can face an unexpected unplanned pregnancy.

Ovulation is ...

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

In a woman's body, with the onset of the next menstruation, a cyclical 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 cell ready for fertilization comes out of it. This is the most favorable moment for conception.

But when will the test show an accurate result? And is it worth getting 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 - test negative? Before you get upset or happy, you need to understand, Everything is extremely simple and understandable even for a student.

Modern rapid tests can determine early pregnancy. They respond to increased levels of hCG in the urine. IN healthy body this hormone is absent.

Accordingly, the second strip will appear during pregnancy when the hCG level rises to a sufficient level. Usually, modern rapid tests allow judging about the onset of pregnancy around the first delay in menstruation.

When to do the test?

10 DPO test negative? Unfortunately, it is difficult to answer why this is happening. 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 best to find out when is the best time to test the body for successful conception. There are different opinions on this matter.

In fact, it is best not to take a pregnancy test until your period is missed. On the first or second day, the check may not give the desired result. And, the earlier the girl does the test, the less chances of diagnostic effectiveness.

The sensitivity of the test is to blame

Is the 10th day of DPO test negative? Don't get upset ahead of time! It is not a fact that the readings of the device for home confirmation of pregnancy are not false.

The fact is that modern pregnancy tests have different sensitivities. The lower the number on the package with the dough, the more accurate it will be.

Today 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 delay in menstruation in most cases.

Low sensitivity of the test often leads to the fact that the woman sees false result- the device "says" that there is no pregnancy, but in fact it takes place.

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. This is an extremely important nuance to determine the success of early conception.

In pharmacies, you can find the following pregnancy tests:

  • strip strips;
  • tablet;
  • inkjet;
  • 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 is displayed about the level of hCG.

Is there any hope?

Is there 10 DPO? Is the test negative? Is there any hope for a successful conception of a child? As already mentioned, it will not be possible to answer unequivocally under any circumstances. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the body of a particular girl.

In theory, there is hope for pregnancy. Many people claim that the 10th day after ovulation is too early for a diagnosis of successful conception. Before menstruation, on average, another 4-5 days. This means, most likely, the test readings will be negative.

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

We look in dynamics

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

Moreover, in order not to get nervous once again, you can track changes in test results over time. For example, buy several strip strips and check them daily.

So you can often see at first negative test, then - "ghost", and a few days later - a clear second line. Unfortunately, many factors can influence a false test result. Because of them, women are often faced with false negative and false positive results.

Why is there no strip?

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

Why doesn't the second strip appear on the pregnancy test? The reasons may vary. For example:

  • early diagnosis;
  • fetal pathology;
  • Availability chronic diseases that reduce the production of hCG;
  • violation of the verification procedure;
  • defect of the test device;
  • lack of pregnancy.

If on 10 DPO the test is negative, you do not need to worry, get upset or panic. Most often, it 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 a normal or long menstrual cycle. In these cases, the level of hCG in the urine 10 days after ovulation is low enough to be recognized at home.

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

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

If at 10 DPO the test is negative in a girl with a short menstrual cycle, you can often not hope for a successful conception. It is recommended to wait. If your period does not come in a week, you need 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 coming from the last cycle.

Electronic tests and early diagnosis

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

Modern highly sensitive tests, according to the manufacturers, help determine pregnancy 2-3 days before the delay. These are usually electronic devices. They also allow you to see the approximate gestational age.

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

Signs of pregnancy

Is the test negative for 10 DPO? Pulls the lower abdomen? As highlighted earlier, the girl will have to be patient. The specified period of time is small enough to be able to judge about successful conception or its absence.

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

Here are the signs of early pregnancy:

  • enlargement of 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 typical for a girl.

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

Conclusion

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

Early pregnancy can only be judged by those who closely monitor their health. The point is that immediately after the conception of a child basal temperature the body rises. If you draw up a graph, you will see that the temperature readings will be higher than usual. This pattern will last 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 conception has taken place or not.

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

Why shouldn't you do the test before the delay? yes, at least to save money, and if your chickens do not peck money, from common sense... Let me 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 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 magnitude 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 unhurried? Why get upset ahead of time? after all, it is enough to wait just a few days to know for sure. O! I 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. And good tests are not cheap. It's better to buy yourself an extra kilogram of apples, really!

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

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

Then we turn on the logic. And if LH, so to speak, is not ordinary? Well, that is, its level is off scale for the second phase of LH or what cyst? or some other byaka? this test for a healthy woman will not show a "ghost" just like that! But are there many really healthy people among those who have been waiting for a stork for years? hmmm .... here are the tears in the pillow. And the fact is that the test reagent reacts (sorry for the tautology) to abnormal LH and instead of pregnancy shows hope for it, which is immediately and mercilessly taken away by the coming periods. And the waiting stork thinks "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I was I've dreamed about fish twice already! " It's not that I don't believe in omens or deny unconventional ways. No! what do you! I screamed so myself. I just want to give information for thought. And finally: there are indeed early miscarriages. Yes, they do. But what's the point in shedding tears? it is much easier to go to the laboratory and find out your hormone level so that you can sleep in your pillow and not sob into it, exclaiming "Why should I, Lord! I really want it, but the alcoholic Alla, with ... ah, already the third healthy gives birth after six abortions, ahhh! "

Okay, let's move on. No problem with hormones, we've already figured that 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 hCG during implantation? take a sprinter, for example. Well, yes, that same sprinter, who screwed into mommy with all the dope for 3 DPOs 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 kid is a sprinter, let's take it as a truth that his hCG doubles every 24 hours. Wow!

For 4 DPO, the value of hCG is 2, for 5 DPO - 4, for 6 DPO - 8, for 7 DPO - 16, for 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 knows clearly the day of ovulation (not according to the schedule, but by ultrasound!), The baby is her sprinter - 0.68% probability, and even hCG is produced at a breakneck speed. The likelihood of such a scenario is less than 1%.

Now let's look at the average scenario. Implantation at 8 DPO and growth of hCG twice 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 weak streak! and on the third it is already clear and bright.

But what if the baby is late with the attachment? For 10 DPOs, as many as 27% of cases are accounted for. We count!

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

Will you say it's hard not to cry, not to worry, not to count? Yes, it is difficult. I know. She cried herself, was worried and counted. Yes, just to pull yourself together and distract (helped me), it is enough to know the following: "British scientists have conducted research on the effect of stress on the ability of women to conceive. Studies have shown that women experiencing the most stress, the ability to conceive is reduced by 12%. The study involved 274 women from 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 tears and hassle reduce the chances of becoming a mother? here is the answer to the question why alcoholics give birth easily, and we, so longing and waiting, cry into our pillow? because alcoholics do not sweat, they have no stress. Therefore, if not completely "loop", then at least not do tests before the delay. Since disappointment is very likely, which is, oh, how 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 turned out to be a long article. Thanks to those who have read to the end! maybe help someone. At least this knowledge helped me a lot. And I'm also a plushkin, I like to save. A pregnancy test costs at least 50 rubles. If you do not do tests after 10 DPO, all 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 in addition. 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 just said "let's try" and scored, living and rejoicing further), 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!

Thirteenth day after ovulation (13 DPO), and the test is negative? It is not worthwhile to unambiguously assume that “it didn’t work out again” and get upset in advance. At such a short time, not all tests to determine the concentration of the hCG hormone in the urine will show an accurate result.

From what day to count the delay in menstruation?

Many mistakes early diagnosis pregnancies only happen because women don't know how to calculate the menstrual cycle. Be sure to have a special calendar. In it, regularly mark the days when menstruation begins and ends. A few months of work with a regular paper calendar or a special application for a smartphone will allow you to get a good look at the peculiarities of your menstrual cycle. This is important to determine when ovulation occurs and delay.

Duration normal cycle averages 28-30 days. The frequency is an individual indicator. Therefore, every woman's periods can be either short (3 days) or long (7 days).

Your period may start a little earlier or later, and this is not a cause for concern. The moment of the onset of menstruation directly depends on external and internal factors: hormonal imbalance, stress, change of climate or time zones, unhealthy diet, female diseases and, of course, pregnancy.

To understand if this is a delay, or if the cycle is slightly rearranged, you need to refer to the calendar. It marks the end date of the last period. From this day you need to count the usual duration of the cycle. Another option has been developed for women with irregular periods. The longest and shortest cycles are added here, and then the resulting figure is divided by two. For accuracy, you can calculate the arithmetic average of the last three to six menstrual cycles... By the way, all this is done independently by a mobile application.

The day of ovulation is determined in the same way. However, with irregular cycle understanding this issue will be more difficult. If the number of days between periods is approximately the same, then it is enough to subtract 12-14 days from this figure. This will be the approximate day of ovulation. Sometimes the release of the egg from the follicle can occur closer to the end of the last menstruation or to the beginning of the next. With an irregular cycle, ovulation can only be determined with the help of special tests.

Why shouldn't you believe the results before the delay?

When will the test show pregnancy, if any? Most of the special strips can be used from the first day of the delay. However, you should know that there may be a negative test for 13 DPOs. This is not surprising, since with a cycle lasting 28 days, it falls just on the last one. That is, in fact, there is no delay yet. The concentration of hCG may not have yet reached the required minimum for the test to "react" to it.

The strips have a sensitivity of 20-25 mMEm. Until the delay, only expensive and high-quality pregnancy tests can recognize an interesting situation. As early as seven to ten days after the expected conception, strips with a sensitivity of 10 mMEml can determine whether a woman will become a mother in the next nine months.

Will the test show pregnancy 13 days after ovulation (DPO)? After all, almost two weeks have passed, and it seems that this time is enough to determine an interesting position. In fact, this is a very small amount of time. When there is still no delay in menstruation (including 13 DPO), a negative test should not be taken seriously. It is better to wait a few more days to get a reliable result.

Home pregnancy tests respond to the hCG hormone, which is released only after the embryo is attached. Implantation in 18% of cases occurs on 8 DPOs, in 36% - on the ninth, and in 27% - on the tenth. On the remaining days from 3 to 12 after ovulation, the probability of implantation is less than 10%. After attachment, the ovum should begin to produce hCG - a specific pregnancy hormone (chorionic gonadotropin). For the test to accurately determine pregnancy, the hCG level must reach at least 20 mIU.

"Phantom" strip

A negative test for 13 DPO can also occur during pregnancy. It's just that the level of the hCG hormone is not yet sufficient for the reagent to react and clearly show the second strip. But at the same time, some women see a pale line on the tests. This result cannot be considered reliable either. The test should be repeated after a couple of days.

The line of evaporation is also called a strip "ghost" when the painted trace was, but after a while it became completely invisible. The phantom has the same width and length as the control sample. Colored in a blue, pink or lilac shade, but is paler, barely noticeable. Something "ghost" resembles a smoky trail where a brightly colored second stripe should be.

Negative test for 13 DPOs: is there any hope?

Since there is still no delay on this day, such a result does not mean that there is no pregnancy. Of course, it's hard not to worry when there have already been several unsuccessful attempts to conceive a child. However, you have to wait. To worry less, it is recommended to be distracted. Numerous studies have shown that a woman who is under stress has a 12% lower chance of successful conception.

In the first two weeks after implantation, the hCG level doubles every 1-2 days. If the ovum entered the uterine cavity on the fourth day after ovulation, then at 13 DPO the hCG level will be only 2 mMEL. At 5 DPO this figure will increase to 4, at the sixth - up to 8, at the seventh - up to 16, and at the eighth - up to 32. An ultrasensitive test will show pregnancy a week after ovulation. The usual one is on the eighth day. But this is only if the woman knows exactly the day of ovulation, having determined it not by the schedule or tests, but by ultrasound. After all, the probability of being attached to the third - fifth DPO is only 0.68%. And the ovum can produce hCG at different rates.

If we take the average data, everything will go even slower. For example, implantation occurred on the eighth day after conception, and hCG doubles every two days. Consequently, at 9 DPO, the hormone concentration will be only 2 mMEml, at 11 DPO - 4, at 13 DPO - 8, and at 15 DPO - 16. On the first day of delay, even a high-quality sensitive test will show only a weak second strip. But on the third day it will be possible to admire a bright and clear line.

It happens that pregnancy develops even more slowly. It's quite normal. Conception at 10 DPO occurs in 27% of cases. Then hCG "grows" to 16 mMEml only on the third day of the delay, or 17 DPO.

How else can you find out if a pregnancy has occurred?

When will the test show pregnancy? It is possible to reliably find out whether the reason for the delay was an interesting situation, it is possible only on the third - fifth day of the delay. By this time, the level of hCG will reach the required minimum, even if the implantation occurred late, and the embryo is in no hurry to synthesize the hormone. If you can't wait to find out if there is a pregnancy, you can do a blood test for hCG in the clinic. Blood is taken from a vein in the morning on an empty stomach. The laboratory will also determine the exact duration of the pregnancy.

Medication support

For some diseases or unsuccessful attempts to become pregnant, the doctor may prescribe an appointment medicinal product... For example, "Duphaston". And now on 13 DPO the test is negative. Should Duphaston be canceled in this case or not? Before making a decision, the doctor will refer you to the laboratory for a blood test. Further actions will depend on its result. If the pregnancy is confirmed, then "Duphaston" is usually not canceled for some time. If conception did not take place in this cycle, then the medication should be discarded.
