Wow Haven't Been Here In Awhile Posted: 09-23-06 01:33am
I had a questionnnn
(no, I am not pregnant, just curious
^_^.)
if you didn't know you were pregnant, but
you were, and were still getting "periods"
and you decided to test just for the fun
of it, would hcg be abundant enough to
make a test register positive? Or would
the period overthrow it?? This situation
is assuming that one is more than just a
month pregnant.

You can bleed during pregnancy, but
nothing should throw off your hormone
levels. That would be a red flag!
But if someone were a month pregnant, then
yes, it should show up positive on a hpt.
Just to be safe .I'd use first response,
though.

The hormone hcg is what stops ur period...
So since ur still getting ur period, the
hormone isnt there, and wont come up in
the pregnancy test. (even tho you may
still be pregnant.. I got a full blown
period for 2 months into my first
pregnancy.. And yes I know I was pregnant
i'd had a sonogram done and was 8 weeks
along.)

Wait sandra, I read in my physiology book
that it is the fertilized egg that
releases hcg, so wouldn't it be that
regardless of whether you're getting
periods or not, you could still yield a
positive result? As long as you were
pregnant long enough to detect the amount?
And since hcg is released into the
bloodstream as well as the urine, wouldn't
a blood test also yield positive result if
taken accurately?

usually.. But prego tests only detect a
certain amount, and sometimes there isnt
enough in our bodies to detect.
And thanks lol hes a ladies man..
Everytime we're out in public all the
ladies swoon over him.

Some years ago when I had my babies, I had
3 periods, but yet I felt I was pregnant
so I wnt in and they took a blood tes tnd
I showed pregnant and that was after the
second period and I still had one more
period, they did a test(i don't recall art
this time wht the name of the test was
called and they said I was 8 weeks
pregnant also) I had a bad past with
pregnancies the dr told me then that some
women do bleed and are still pregnant but
both of my last two pregnany's were
perfect!

Lets avoid using "period while pregnant"
..No one in this planet can have a true
period while pregnant. You may have some
bleeding but never a period.

Lol yeah that's why I started out by
putting period in quotation marks. I saw
the thread awhile back when someone else
asked about periods and pregnancy and
there was a lot of bickering, I wouldn't
want that to happen again.
Anywhooo, thanx or all the replies ladies,
it satiated my curiosity ^_^ (i have
always wanted to use the word teee heeeee)
