When signs of pregnancy appear, you should see a doctor promptly to determine whether you are pregnant. Because if you are not careful during early pregnancy, it can cause abnormal embryonic development and even lead to miscarriage. So, what are some ways to know if you are pregnant?
(1) Changes in the uterus:When seeing a gynecologist, you should describe the menstrual period and some With symptoms, the gynecologist will first ask for a urine test (because urine in the bladder will affect the gynecological examination), and then perform a gynecological examination. If you are pregnant, you will find that your uterus is larger and softer than usual during the examination, and it seems that the uterus is not connected to the cervix.
(2) Urine pregnancy test: Sometimes the enlargement and softening of the uterus are not obvious, which is To further confirm whether you are pregnant; the doctor will ask you to take your first pee after getting up in the morning for examination. If you are pregnant, the chorionic gonadotropin produced by the embryo can be excreted in the urine. If such a substance is found in the urine, it is called a positive urine pregnancy test, indicating that pregnancy has occurred. Therefore, special attention should be paid when retaining urine. If the night urine and the first urine in the morning are mixed together, a part of it can be sent for testing. Otherwise, the chorionic gonadotropin in the urine may be insufficient, resulting in a false negative urine pregnancy test. .
(3) Progesterone test: For women with suspected early pregnancy, progesterone is given, usually every day Inject one tube and use it for 3 days. If there is no vaginal bleeding within 1 week after stopping the medication, the possibility of pregnancy is very high. If vaginal bleeding occurs, you can be certain that pregnancy has not occurred.
(4) Basal body temperature:Basal body temperature refers to the natural wake-up time after sleeping for 6 to 8 hours After arriving, without talking or moving, the body temperature measured in the basal metabolic state can be measured through axillary, oral or anal testing. For accuracy and convenience, oral probe is often used, that is, put the thermometer under the tongue, close your mouth and probe for 5 minutes. So, how does the basal body temperature change during the normal menstrual cycle? Mainly changes occur during ovulation due to changes in hormones in the body after ovulation, causing the basal body temperature to increase by 0.3 to 0.5°C compared with before ovulation, lasting for 10 to 14 days. One day before menstruation, the basal body temperature begins to decrease. If you usually use basal body temperature to check whether you are ovulating, then if you find that the basal body temperature has increased for 3 days and has not dropped, it is likely that you are pregnant.
(5) B-ultrasound examination: The B-type ultrasonic diagnostic instrument can be used directly through the abdominal wall Observe the size of the uterus. If you are pregnant, you can see the embryonic sac and fetal heartbeat in the uterus through B-ultrasound. Studies have confirmed that short-term B-ultrasound irradiation does no damage to embryos.
