It happens that a woman has a delay. The first thing that comes to mind is to do a test. The bar shows a negative result, but the menstruation did not come. And signs of pregnancy begin to appear: mild nausea, dizziness, aching pain in the lower abdomen. And now the doctor confirms the presence of a fetal egg, but it turns out that there is a pregnancy, and the test is negative. What does it depend on?
Causes
Do not be scared. Most likely, you made a mistake in calculating the cycle. Usually it is 26-30 days, but not everyone is regular. Therefore, the dates of ovulation and implantation may be erroneous. If the amount of hCG is too low, then the result will be negative. The level of the "hormone of pregnant women" is growing every day. Calculating everything with accuracy is almost impossible. In this case, you must repeat the diagnosis after a week.
If pregnancy is, and the test is negative, the cause may be a test strip error. The reasons most often are violation of storage rules, marriage, expired shelf life, improper use. It is better to buy 2 tests of various manufacturers at once.
An error also occurs due to taking diuretics. There is a "dilution of the composition of urine." This, in turn, reduces the amount of hCG, and it turns out that there is a pregnancy, and the test is negative.
Rules for conducting home diagnostics
A small digression. To avoid unnecessary worries, you need to know how to do a pregnancy test correctly:
- Diagnosis should only be in the morning;
- collect urine only in a clean and dry container;
- 10-12 hours before the test to limit fluid intake;
- stop taking medication.
Less commonly, pregnancy is at risk. Half a full egg is a stranger to a woman’s body, and he rejects it. The reasons are actually different, only the gynecologist will establish the exact examination. In such a situation, the main thing is to remain calm, the doctor will prescribe the necessary drugs and, if necessary, will be sent to the hospital.
Another no less sad reason is a frozen or ectopic pregnancy. I note that it is extremely important to detect this in time, since with a dead pregnancy , an inflammatory process can begin, which will require a long treatment. An ectopic pregnancy is more dangerous for a woman’s health, while a fetal egg is fixed in the fallopian tube. It grows, it becomes crowded, and the pipe ruptures. All this is accompanied by severe pain and bleeding. Depending on the situation, the woman will undergo surgery or curettage.
The situation when pregnancy is, and the test is negative, can occur when taking hormonal drugs, impaired reproductive system functions of women. In any case, you need to contact your gynecologist for further examination and treatment.
What to do to find out for sure
If the test shows one strip, but you have signs, then you need to take a pregnancy test - blood for the presence of hCG. This diagnostic method is the most informative today. Blood is donated in the same way as for biochemistry - from a vein. The result will be known around 3-7 days.
