Specialized diagnostic methods will allow you to reliably determine the signs of pregnancy on the 5th day of gestation.
Pregnancy test.
Rapid tests do not always determine pregnancy immediately after conception. This is due to the fact that the level of chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) increases gradually and remains normal in the early stages. A reliable pregnancy test result can only be obtained from the 14th day after conception.
Gynecological examination.
As a result of a gynecological examination, probable signs of pregnancy can be determined. These include:
• an increase in the size of the uterus and a change in its consistency;
• discoloration of the external genitalia;
• softening of the isthmus of the uterus;
• increase in uterine mobility;
• displacement of the uterus.
These five landmarks indicate the implantation of the egg.
An increase in hCG levels.
In order to determine this indicator, a laboratory blood test is carried out. The maximum information content of the analysis is observed from the 13-14th day of gestation. An increase in the hormone also occurs in diseases of the organs of the reproductive system and ectopic implantation of the egg.
An informative way to detect pregnancy in the early stages is an ultrasound examination. Fertilization can be confirmed in the first weeks after conception. The study is carried out using an abdominal or transvaginal probe.
Carrying a child is a big responsibility that a future mother takes on. In order for the baby to develop healthy, a woman needs to give up any bad habits, pay attention to her diet and lifestyle.
