How long can you determine the pregnancy and gender of the child?

There are a number of ways to determine pregnancy at the disposal of medicine. After reading the article, the woman will be able to decide which of them is most suitable for her.

Two hundred years ago, there was no conversation about any pregnancy. Women guessed that they were in a position, if there were no menstruation, and they were convinced of this only when they began to feel the movements.

Modern medicine is at a level when it is possible not only to identify the fact of pregnancy, but also to determine its exact term.

How long can you determine pregnancy?

There are different ways to determine the onset and terms of pregnancy, but, first of all, we recall several points:

1. Traditionally, they calculate the terms of pregnancy, adding 40 weeks to the first day of the last menstruation. The time of childbirth is also calculated
2. Pregnancy can occur a couple of days before the start, during the period and after ovulation, and this is approximately from 6-7 days in the middle of the menstrual cycle
3. It is possible to determine whether a pregnant woman or not is possible only when the egg was fixed in the uterus (at this time, a human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is launched at this time

For example, a woman expects another menstruation, but she is not. Perhaps pregnancy has come.

If the lack of menstruation is confirmed at the time, and the woman has other signs of pregnancy:

• change or strengthening appetite
• the appearance of nausea and/or vomiting, especially in the morning
• frequent urination, swelling of the brust, pregnancy occurred

However, to make sure this for sure, you can apply several methods:

1. Use the test
2. Contact the gynecologist
3. Make an ultrasound
4. Conduct tests for hormones

Important: if a blood test is carried out for hormones, then it with the maximum probability will indicate pregnancy or its absence. However, this method has a shortage - it does not indicate uterine or ectopic pregnancy

How long can you determine the pregnancy with a test?

• The use of test strips is the most affordable way to date with which you can determine pregnancy right at home
• Everyone heard about the famous “two strips”. One of them is always present and indicates that the test is suitable, the other shows the presence of pregnancy
• If the second strip after using the test is distinguishable, but pale, we can talk about the early pregnancy, or that the test was carried out incorrectly
• The strips show an increased concentration of chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone is produced already 10 to 14 days after conception, an increase in its level and talks about pregnancy
• Pharmacy express - tests allow you to find out whether the woman is pregnant or not, already on the 25th - 27th day of her menstrual cycle, that is, two weeks after conception

Important: the best time for the test is the next day from the beginning of menstruation delay

How long can pregnancy determine an ultrasound?

To determine pregnancy, these methods of UZ research are used:

• abdominal
• transvaginal

They are effective already 7 to 10 days after conception. With the help of an ultrasound, a visible dividing egg, implanted into the wall of the uterus, becomes visible.

And if the abdominal method allows you to determine the period of pregnancy from 5 weeks, when the heart of the embryo begins to beat, then the transvaginal method is attributed to more sensitive, that is, pregnancy is determined from the third week.

Important: in fact, with the help of ultrasound, pregnancy is determined for a period of 3 weeks from conception

An ultrasound examination allows you to set a gestational age with an accuracy of a week, but only in the first half of pregnancy.

The basis of calculations is the size of the uterus and the height of its bottom. From the middle of the second trimester of pregnancy, the dimensions of the uterus in different women may vary.

How long can the gynecologist determine the pregnancy?

A gynecologist determines pregnancy on the basis of a patient survey (lack of menstruation for how many days, the appearance of other signs, such as nausea, etc.), in the basis of a gynecological examination.

His conclusion is an offensive or lack of pregnancy- a gynecologist can do according to the following signs:

1. An increase in blood flow in the pelvic organs and the changed appearance of the genital organs-they become cyanotic and swollen due to a rush of venous blood
2. In shape and density of the uterus. The “non -acquired” uterus is dense, in the form of pear -shaped. During pregnancy, the organ becomes less dense, it is softened, it increases slightly in size and becomes more rounded
3. The uterus is easily reduced
4. Asymmetry of the shape of the uterus is possible due to the fact that the embryo is attached in a certain place. This is visible at about 7 - 8 weeks, after the shape of the uterus again becomes rounded
5. At the gestational age, the gynecologist may feel for the softening of the uterus and severe mobility of the cervix for 4 - 6 weeks

At what period of pregnancy can the gender of the child be determined?

At the 11th week of pregnancy, the fetus begins to form the genitals.
In boys, a scrotum is formed from the labio-shower tubercles, and the testicles are still located in the stomach. They fall only during pregnancy for 7 months.

• However, it often happens that the embryo legs are bent and tightly pressed to the body, so that it is very difficult to consider its floor. As a rule, it turns out at 18-20 weeks of pregnancy
• With the help of a modern and high -quality Uzi apparatus, an experienced doctor can see whether a boy or a girl, a week for 14 pregnancy
• He calculates the angle, conditionally formed between the back and the sex hillock of the fetus. If he is more than 300, this is a boy, for girls he will be less than 300
