When to Take Pregnancy Test

Some women could make out that they are pregnant easily, while others are not able to recognise the condition. If you miss out on body and hormonal changes but suspect that they are pregnant, it is a right time to take a pregnancy test.

Enlisted below are some of the when to check for pregnancy signs.

Missing periods or changes in menstrual cycle: If you are in a child bearing age and missing periods or experiencing changes in menstrual cycle, it is may be due to the budding offspring.

Morning sickness and nausea: One of the most common signs of pregnancy, nausea and morning sickness are experienced by a pregnant woman between fourth and eighth week. The reason for pronounced morning sickness is an increase in human chorionic gonadotropin hormone within the body. The level of human chorionic gonadotropin returns to normal between 12th and 14th week of pregnancy, to put an end to it.

Change in urinal frequency: When foetus begins to develop, there is an increase in kidney’s activities. Owing to the increased volume and blood circulation during pregnancy, there are certain changes in urine production (frequency of urination increases usually). The frequency of urination rises considerably during nights or lying position owing to the pressure woman’s uterus creates on bladder.

Breasts changes: Breasts of a woman begin to become tender and sore during pregnancy, which occurs due to the excess release of hormones during pregnancy. As the levels of estrogen and progesterone increase in the body, areolas of breasts become dark.

Irate behaviour: Pregnancy affects woman’s behaviour too; they experience regular mood swings. The irate behaviour during the pregnancy is more pronounced in comparison to the ones experienced during the premenstrual condition.

Rise in basal temperature: The lowest temperature of the body, basal temperature, rises during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. The rise in basal temperature above normal level may make her sweat more than usual. In order to keep basal temperature within normal range, discuss an approach with a gynaecologist.
