Delayed menstruation - pregnancy: the test is positive and false positive. Delayed menstruation test positive pregnancy no

Hello! I have a delay of 1.5 months, the test showed 2 strips, but the gynecologist during the examination said that the uterus was slightly enlarged - a maximum of 1 week of pregnancy. Because of what it can be?

Ekaterina, Perm

ANSWERED: 09/18/2014

Good afternoon, Catherine! 1.5 months is approximately 5-6 weeks of pregnancy, we consider the gestational age from the first day of the last menstruation, from the actual gestational age (from conception) this period differs by approximately 2-3 weeks, at such times the size of the fetal egg is so small, that the uterus practically does not change from its usual size, so everything is in order, do not worry! Get an ultrasound and don't forget to register for pregnancy! Sincerely, obstetrician-gynecologist Chernysheva Yu.V.

Pregnancy is the birth of a new life. For many, the expectation of this bright moment lasts a very long time, while for someone it comes unexpectedly and may be undesirable. How do you know that it has arrived? For this, now there are a lot of tests that are expensive and not very expensive. But many girls have questions, for example: “The delay is 5 days, the test is negative, which means there is no pregnancy, or should it be done when there is a delay of 10-14 days, is there a chance of a false result?” Really, what day the test will show pregnancy, can it be done from the first day of the delay, how to choose it and how to use it correctly? These issues require more detailed consideration.

All pregnancy tests work on the same principle: they determine the level of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG in the urine of a woman. When pregnancy comes HCG levels are skyrocketing, and then it will show a positive result.

Manufacturers of most diagnostic tools claim that they can be used from the first day of a missed period, but in fact it all depends on the woman's body. Some with a delay of 5 days, the test is negative, and pregnancy has already occurred, this indicates that ovulation occurred later. And there are, although extremely rare, reverse situations - the test shows 2 strips, the woman goes to the doctor, takes tests, does an ultrasound and finds out that she is not pregnant.

It all depends on . Now there are highly sensitive strips that can answer the question of pregnancy already in 5-7 days after conception.

Types of tests

There are the following types of tests:

Many women who want to get pregnant are wondering: “When to test for pregnancy, is it worth waiting for a delay in menstruation, or can you find out earlier?”

All diagnostic tools are divided into 2 groups:

  • With a sensitivity of 20-35 IU. They are used from the first day of delayed menstruation, these include: inkjet, tablet and strip tests.
  • With sensitivity from 10 IU is a new generation in the diagnosis of pregnancy in the early stages. They are able to give an answer already 5-7 days after conception. These include electronic tests, by the way, some of them are intended for reusable use.

It is important to remember that pregnancy tests are used only according to certain rules:

  1. For a more reliable result, it is better to use morning urine, it should be collected in a clean container.
  2. Before taking urine, you need to wash and dry yourself.
  3. The package with the test is opened only before use, after washing your hands.
  4. Before use, read the instructions.
  5. The strip is immersed in urine to the level indicated on it, for the time indicated in the instructions.
  6. Expired tests are not recommended because they give unreliable results.
  7. If the instructions do not indicate that the test is reusable, then it cannot be reused.
  8. Do not evaluate the result later than the time specified in the instructions.
  9. As a rule, a positive result is indicated by the appearance of 2 strips, a negative - 1.

Any modern woman with a delay in menstruation, if there is a reason to suspect pregnancy, hurries to the pharmacy for a test. Of course, it is more convenient and saves a lot of time for a visit to the doctor. But sometimes it happens that the tests show a negative result, women calm down, but menstruation never comes. Worried, they go to the doctor and find out they are pregnant. Why do tests give a negative result if pregnancy is present, is there a possibility of errors? This happens for a number of reasons:

  • The test was done early. Perhaps the woman hurried with the diagnosis. All tests say that they give a result from the first day of a missed period. But if there are violations of the cycle or it lasts more than 28 days, then the test may be negative, since the level of hCG is still very low. In this case, it is recommended to repeat the test after 48 hours or use a diagnostic tool from another manufacturer.
  • Poor urine quality. The decrease in the hCG hormone in the urine can be affected by diuretics or excessive fluid intake, so the study should be carried out only with the first portion of morning urine and the day before, refrain from taking diuretics and large amounts of fluid.
  • Violation of the rules of use. The test may show a false negative result due to a violation of the instructions for use. For example, the strip was lowered into the urine above or below the specified mark, the time for immersion in urine was not observed, the test area was touched with dirty hands, the urine was collected in dirty dishes, etc.
  • Malfunctions of the urinary tract A negative test in the presence of pregnancy can be in women suffering from kidney disease, as well as with the development of various inflammatory processes in the urinary system.
  • Fetal development disorders. Sometimes there are situations when the fetus develops incorrectly, for example: missed pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, threatened miscarriage. In the case of such pathologies, the level of the hCG hormone will not increase, which means that the test result is negative.
  • Violation of the storage conditions of the test. Experts advise trusting only those tests that were purchased at the pharmacy immediately before use. If they were stored for a long time in inappropriate conditions, then there is no need to talk about the reliability of the result.
  • Poor test quality. The quality of the test largely depends on the manufacturer, therefore, to obtain a reliable result, it is best to have several diagnostic strips from different manufacturers, by the way, they do not have to be very different in price.
  • Long menstrual cycle, violation of the cycle. A negative result can be if a woman's cycle lasts more than 30 days or there are cycle disorders. Then ovulation occurs later than the scheduled line and at the time of testing, the hCG level is still very low.

How to calculate test day

The standard menstrual cycle lasts 28 days. As a rule, ovulation occurs on the 14th day from the last menstruation. To know the date of testing, you need to add another 15 days to the day of ovulation. This will be the first day of the delay in menstruation, although experienced gynecologists advise doing a test for 3-5 days of delay.

What to do for those who have a menstrual cycle that lasts more than 30 days or there are cycle disorders? For them, determining the day of ovulation is extremely difficult, and for an accurate result, an ovulation test should be used.

If the delay is already more than 5 days, and the test is negative, then this is a serious reason to seek the advice of a specialist. Perhaps the delay is not related to pregnancy, but indicates a serious illness that requires immediate treatment.

It is extremely rare that situations occur when testing gives a positive result, but there is actually no pregnancy. This can happen in the following cases:

  • Tested shortly after childbirth, abortion, or miscarriage
  • There is a cancer that provokes the production of hCG
  • For ovarian dysfunction
  • When taking drugs that include the hCG hormone.

So, testing is a great way to diagnose pregnancy almost from the first day of a missed period, but it is important to follow the rules of use. If in doubt about the result, several tests from different manufacturers should be done.

Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello Asela! Virtually answer your question is difficult. I advise you to donate blood for hCG in dynamics, every 2 days. With a normally developing pregnancy, the indicator should double. In any case, ureaplasma cannot be the cause of fading. If the situation repeats, then contact an experienced gynecologist for an in-depth diagnosis (examination for APS, karyotyping, etc.).

I had a delay of 6 days and there were all signs of pregnancy, except for the sensitivity of the breast (this is my second pregnancy, I breastfed, maybe that's why) and I did 2 tests, both were weakly positive. And a few days later I went for an ultrasound on 06/06/2014 and said it was still a short time and they can’t say for sure, but there is a small dot in conclusion, she wrote a cyst of the corpus luteum of the right ovary and an ultrasound control after 2 weeks. But after 2-3 days I got a few drops of blood and pain in the lower abdomen on the left, I thought it was threatening, I went to the gynecologist in a panic and there I was prescribed duphaston, but I didn’t want to drink this drug and went to another gynecologist to a private one and there I was On 07/09/2014, they sent me for an ultrasound scan again, but I didn’t see anything, again, a cyst of the corpus luteum of the right ovary. and ultrasound control a week later, since I said that it hurts on the left, and she immediately thought. An ectopic pregnancy did an ultrasound transvaginally (with a vaginal sensor) and didn’t find anything. The gynecologist looked at the ultrasound and said maybe my period would come, and I said that I had 3 positive tests, and she also prescribed duphaston and that's it. Ultrasound of the size of the uterus 54.43.49. , endometrium 10 mm, the echostructure of the ovary contains a heterogeneous formation measuring 29 mm, the posterior fornix is ​​free.

Hello, April 30th was the 12th day of the delay of menstruation (the dates of April 18th should have begun), 4 tests, one of which was clear blue with an indicator of the gestational age, were positive. the gynecologist sent for an ultrasound, the doctor didn’t see anything on the ultrasound, could it be and why? ..... said to come in a week for a control ultrasound ... there are symptoms of pregnancy: nausea, a change in taste sensations, I react to pungent odors. tomorrow I'm going for a control ultrasound, I'm afraid that again they will say that there is nothing.

Answers:

Hello Inna! Similar ultrasound results (absence of a fetal egg in the uterus with a delay of 12 days of menstruation) can be obtained when performing ultrasound on an old device or by an inexperienced doctor, with late ovulation (which occurred closer to the end of the cycle) and with an ectopic pregnancy. Go to a control ultrasound to a good specialist, to a good machine. You should not worry in advance - most likely, during the control ultrasound, the embryo will be found. Take care of your health!

Mamulka asks:

Hello. I have always had a regular cycle, but recently for the first time there was a long delay. I am 28 years old. I did three or four pregnancy tests and they were all negative. I went to the gynecologist, they did an ultrasound and indicated polycystic changes in the ovaries. The doctor prescribed tazalok and Indole f. She disappeared for a month, after which she stopped taking the drugs because of gastritis. I decided to go again for a gynecological ultrasound. They said that no more polycystic is visible and everything is clean and that the uterus is almost ready for menstruation. With a calm soul, she was waiting for her period, but instead, only one drop of blood and that's it. Again a delay. All this time, my chest hurts terribly. I haven't had my period for about a month now. Based on the previous sad experience, I did not even think about taking a pregnancy test. But after some time I decided to do it. Showed a positive result. Two days later, I did two more tests of the same company, both positive with clear stripes on points. Could it really be pregnancy. After all, they didn’t set the maturation of the egg for me. I really want a baby, and I have already made an appointment with the doctor, but already next week. I would like to hear the opinion of experts before. And how could the intake of Almagel affect the fetus? At the moment, the delay is almost a month.

The female body can notify about changes in the form of menstrual irregularities. Often a delay of menstruation by 5 days is observed during pregnancy. However, not in all cases, the absence of menstruation is a consequence of the onset of conception. . In some moments, periods that did not come on time signal diseases. Therefore, it is important to know how many days there may be a delay in menstruation, which is not an alarm.

After going to the doctor, women first of all ask the question: how many days can there be a delay? A gynecologist will not be able to give a definite answer to it. After all, every woman has her own timing. In addition, various factors can influence the occurrence of a delay.

With physiological phenomena, menstruation can be delayed for a month. This is due to the fact that the body prevents pregnancy, considering these conditions unacceptable for conception. This situation may be influenced by:

  • overvoltages;
  • chronic stress;
  • debilitating diets.

In other words, changes occur in the body that lead to a violation of the hormonal background. It will not be normalized until the negative influence stops. Therefore, periods may resume after a while. If the impact remains at the same level, then the delay in menstruation becomes the first step towards infertility.

Menstruation may be delayed for other reasons. Among them are:

  • violation of the diet and principles of nutrition;
  • long intervals between meals;
  • lack of vitamins;
  • sleep disturbance;
  • physical or mental strain;
  • alcohol or tobacco poisoning;
  • influence of environmental factors;
  • unstable emotional state, depression;
  • sudden weight loss, low weight;
  • obesity;
  • individual reaction to drugs;
  • diseases of various organs of an infectious nature;
  • diabetes;
  • change in climate and time zones.

Under the influence of these factors, the delay can be 5 or 7 days. If the cause of the violation of the menstrual cycle is eliminated, then it will soon be restored. Doctors note that menstruation should not disappear for more than one cycle. With an increase in this time, serious problems can be assumed, such as:

  1. may be the result of various pathological processes occurring in the body of a woman. Most often, the diagnosis is made in violation of the functioning of the thyroid gland.
  2. A delay of 5 days in menstruation may be in the case of an anovulatory cycle. This condition is considered normal if it occurs no more than 3 times a year.
  3. With polycystic ovary syndrome, testosterone levels in the blood rise. In the event of this disease, a delay in menstruation can be observed for more than 10 days.
  4. During the occurrence of fibroids, cysts or other neoplasms, the cycle may change. After a long delay in menstruation, a woman may begin to bleed heavily. With the growth and exfoliation of tissues, endometriosis can occur with increased menstruation.
  5. With adnexitis, oophoritis, cystitis, menstruation can occur. In this case, it lasts up to 10 days. After that, menstruation begins with dark discharge and pain in the abdomen.

Violation of the menstrual cycle can be observed as a consequence of gynecological procedures. A delay of several months may be due to:

  • scraping;
  • colposcopy;
  • hysteroscopy.


If there is no period for 3 days

If a woman monitors her menstrual cycle, then a 2-day delay in menstruation will cause alarm. First of all, you need to exclude or confirm pregnancy. For these purposes, you can use a pregnancy test, which is performed at home. However, there is a chance that it will not show a reliable result. Therefore, an accurate method for determining the completed conception and attachment of the fetal egg is a blood test for hCG.

If the test is positive, and the delay in menstruation is 3 days, the stomach and chest hurt, then an ectopic pregnancy can be assumed. With spotting that began at this moment, a spontaneous abortion is suspected. In this case, you need to urgently consult a doctor for an ambulance.

If the delay in menstruation is 3 days, but nothing hurts, and the test is positive, this indicates the beginning of a new period for the woman.

In the absence of pregnancy, a delay in menstruation by 3 days is not yet alarming. In this case, a woman needs to remember what emotional overloads have been observed recently. It is also worth linking the violation of the menstrual cycle with a change in nutrition and place of residence.

No periods longer than 3 days

If your period is 4 days late and the pregnancy test is negative, you can assume:

  • diseases of the genitourinary system;
  • inflammatory process;
  • disruptions in the hormonal background.

Especially alarming is the sign when the delay in menstruation is 4 days,. In this case, it is necessary to refute the pregnancy in order to exclude the risk of miscarriage. If the result is negative, it is important to be tested for various diseases.

If the delay in menstruation is 5 or 6 days, then doctors may consider such a period to be the norm. In this case, the absence of menstruation can speak not only of pregnancy, which has not yet manifested itself, but also of a restructuring in the body of a woman, which happens every six months.

If the above options are not confirmed, then it is necessary to maintain composure. Nervous tension can aggravate the situation.

When diagnosing, having a delay of 5-7 days, a woman can hear the diagnosis of "ovarian dysfunction". In this case, there are problematic moments in the hormonal background. This situation requires treatment.

A delay of up to 7 days can be considered as a normal indicator. If the period increases, then a more thorough examination is required.

No period for more than 7 days

If there is a delay in menstruation by 7 or 8 days, then the woman may experience serious anxiety. In the absence of signs of PMS or pain in the lower abdomen, delayed menstruation can be an alarming symptom.

With a delay in menstruation for 7-8 days, as well as a positive test, you can congratulate the expectant mother. A negative test indicates violations under the influence of:

  • physical activity;
  • stress, emotional tension;
  • weight disorders;
  • changes in climatic zones;
  • various diseases;
  • taking medications.

Often women do not know what to do if there is a delay in menstruation by 10 days. Doctors advise to undergo an examination to identify:

  • malfunctions of the endocrine system;
  • violations in the work of the genital organs;
  • gynecological diseases;

A delay in menstruation for 10 days without pregnancy may indicate serious illness. Therefore, it is important for a woman to undergo an examination to identify changes. If your chest hurts with a 10-day delay in menstruation, then you need to urgently consult a doctor.

It is important to exclude the period of the formation of the menstrual cycle and the moment of menopause. A 14-day delay in menstruation may indicate such changes.

The main reason that leads to the cessation of menstruation is pregnancy. With a negative test, pathological changes require a visit to a doctor. This must be done as early as possible, since an ectopic pregnancy or tumor requires immediate therapy.

In most cases, confirms pregnancy. However, there are exceptions when the test shows a false positive result. Various reasons may indicate this.

Validity and Benefits of a Pregnancy Test

With a delay in menstruation, every girl goes to the pharmacy for a test. You can find out about pregnancy from the first day of the delay, since there is already enough hormone in the body, to which the test reacts.

There is a wide range of pregnancy tests: inkjet, ultra sensitive, cassette.

One of the most popular are test strips. They are very convenient to use. It is enough to lower the test into a container with urine to the specified level for a few seconds. After a few minutes, you can see the result. Pregnancy tests come in different sensitivities.

If the sensitivity of the strip varies from 20 to 25 mIU / ml, then such tests can be used on the first day of the delay.

Tests with a sensitivity of 10-15 mIU / ml are used approximately 2-3 days before the delay.The inkjet test can be used under any conditions, as there is no need to lower it into a container with urine. The father-in-law is substituted under the jet and the result is expected. The test contains substances that, when interacting with the hCG hormone contained in the urine, will indicate. These tests, unlike conventional test strips, are expensive.

There are times when a pregnancy test can show an unreliable result.The accuracy and validity of the tests depends on how you perform them. When using the test, it is important to prevent moisture or dirt from entering. Do not touch the side that will be in contact with urine. To make sure that pregnancy has occurred, it is advisable to do several tests.

Pregnancy: the first signs

Fertilization of the egg occurs after ovulation within 12 hours. Signs are observed when the fertilized egg attaches to the cavity. Some women may experience minor bleeding, which is mistaken for menstruation.

After the egg reaches the uterine cavity, the hormonal background changes in the woman's body.After 1-2 weeks, the first pregnancies appear.

The main signs indicating pregnancy:

  • Increase in basal body temperature
  • Menstruation does not come on time
  • Increase in size
  • The occurrence of nausea and vomiting
  • Frequent urination
  • Increased cervical mucus
  • Cramps in the lower abdomen
  • Change in taste habits
  • mood swings

The most common and reliable sign of pregnancy is the absence of menstruation. However, there are other reasons why menstruation does not come on time.

If there is no menstruation and some of the above signs are observed, then this is a clear confirmation that the pregnancy has occurred.

During ovulation, the basal temperature should be at least 37 degrees. If the indicator does not decrease for several days, then we can talk about the onset of pregnancy. It is correct to measure the basal temperature in the morning without getting out of bed. It makes no sense to measure indicators during the day, as the result can change throughout the day.

More information about the first signs of pregnancy can be found in the video.

The cervix produces a special fluid, which plays an important role in the process of fertilization.Cervical mucus promotes the promotion of sperm. In order to analyze the nature of the discharge, you should take a smear from the vagina with your index finger. Next, with your thumb, determine the viscosity of the mucus. If the consistency is thick, then this may indicate conception.

With an increase, work decreases, and therefore failures occur in the form of constipation, diarrhea.When pregnancy occurs, a woman becomes irritable.

A woman's sense of taste and smell may change due to pregnancy.these changes are usually associated with the growth of the hormone .

Painful sensations in the chest, many women perceive as the beginning of menstruation. However, breasts during pregnancy and during menstruation are very different. During pregnancy, the breasts become tuberculate, the nipples and areolas around them darken. There is also a strong burning sensation in the chest.The uterus increases in size each time, so frequent urination can also indicate a developing pregnancy.

Objective signs include: blueness of the neck, softening and enlargement of the uterus, darkening of the areola. All these symptoms of pregnancy can be seen by the doctor during the examination.

False positive test on delay

Delayed period, test positive - no pregnancy

When using home test strips, in certain cases, the test may be false positive. The reasons for this result are quite varied.

Chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone produced in the body after the attachment of the egg to the uterine cavity. Hormone production can occur regardless of the site of implantation. An increase in the hormone in the urine can indicate not only pregnancy, but also indicate other pathologies.

The hCG hormone can be produced in the following cases:

  • Abortion
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • The use of certain medications
  • bubble skid
