Cómo funcionan las pruebas de embarazo caseras

Las pruebas de embarazo en el hogar (HPT) están diseñadas para detectar hCG, una hormona liberada por la placenta justo después de que el embrión comienza a implantarse en el revestimiento uterino. La hormona se libera en la orina de una mujer embarazada.

Un artículo de JAMA de octubre de 2001 establece que la mayor sensibilidad posible de detección para una prueba de embarazo basada en hCG realizada el primer día de un período perdido es de 90%, ya que el 10% de las mujeres puede no haber implantado todavía. Los autores estiman que la mayor sensibilidad posible de una prueba de embarazo en el hogar a una semana después del primer día del período perdido es del 97 por ciento. Fairhaven Health ofrece las pruebas de embarazo en el hogar más sensibles actualmente disponibles.

Vaginal bleeding is the most common sign of miscarriage. This can vary from light spotting to a heavy bleed depending on how many weeks pregnant your are. Other symptoms may include abdominal cramping, lower back pain and passage of fluid or tissue from your vagina. Call your doctor if you’re experiencing these signs.

The mucus plus is usually clear, slightly pink or blood-tinged in color. It can be stringy mucous or sticky discharge. Some women might not notice the loss of their mucus plug since there is already an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy.

The most common cause of miscarriage is chromosomal abnormality – meaning something is wrong with the baby’s chromosomes and it’s not developing normally. Most chromosomal abnormalities are the cause of a damaged egg or sperm cell or are due to a problem at the time that the zygote went through the division process. The reasons for miscarriage are varied, and most often cannot be identified.

Implantation bleeding is generally light and short, between a couple of hours to three full days.

Implantation bleeding occurs when the embryo implants in the lining of the uterus, usually around 7 to 10 days after fertilization. This bleeding could happen near the time you would expect your menstruation cycle. Learn how implantation bleeding differs from period bleeding.

Implantation bleeding looks different from your period. Implantation bleeding is more of of a “spotting” rather than a full “flow” like your period. It’s typically a lighter pink rather than blood red and doesn’t have clots. It can happen about the time you’re expecting your period so it’s very easy to confuse the two.

The best time to take a pregnancy test is 7 days after a missed period, and first thing in the moring with your first urine of the day. Learn why if you take a pregnancy test sooner than 7 days you may get a false negative.

Preeclampsia is a condition that occurs only during pregnancy. Symptoms may include high blood pressure and protein in the urine, usually occurring after week 20 of pregnancy.
