Tests Done During Pregnancy
When you are pregnant, you will have a number of tests done. Some are required by law, while others are done to check on the health of you and your baby. The following is a list of some of the most common tests done during pregnancy:
Ultrasound: An ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to create a picture of the baby. This test is usually done between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy.
blood tests: A blood test is a test that takes a sample of your blood. This test is done to check for certain infections, genetic disorders, and other health problems.
amniocentesis: An amniocentesis is a test that takes a sample of the amniotic fluid. This test is done to check for genetic disorders and other health problems.
chorionic villus sampling (CVS): A CVS is a test that takes a sample of the chorionic villi. This test is done to check for genetic disorders and other health problems.
Pregnancy Testing After Iui
If you are trying to get pregnant, you may be wondering when is the best time to take a pregnancy test. For women who have undergone IUI, there are a few things to keep in mind when taking a pregnancy test.
First, you should wait until at least two weeks after your IUI to take a home pregnancy test. This is because the IUI procedure may not have resulted in conception. If you take the test too early, you may get a false negative result.
Another thing to keep in mind is that a home pregnancy test may not be as accurate as a blood test or a urine test done at a doctor’s office. If you are concerned about the accuracy of your home pregnancy test, you may want to consider getting a blood test or seeing your doctor.
If you take a home pregnancy test and it is positive, you should contact your doctor to schedule an appointment. The doctor will likely want to do a blood test to confirm the pregnancy.

When Does Pregnancy Show On Test
The earliest detectable signs of pregnancy are typically a missed period and feeling bloated. For some women, these symptoms may appear as early as two weeks after conception. However, for most women, the earliest signs of pregnancy won’t show up until four or five weeks after conception.
The most common way to confirm pregnancy is with a home pregnancy test. These tests work by detecting the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. hCG is produced by the placenta shortly after the fertilized egg implants in the uterus.
Most home pregnancy tests are accurate as early as the first day of your missed period. However, some tests may be more sensitive than others and can detect hCG levels earlier. If you take a home pregnancy test before your missed period and it comes back negative, wait a week and test again. If you still don’t get a positive result, you may not be pregnant.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should call your doctor and schedule a pregnancy test:
• Missed period
• Feeling bloated
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Frequent urination
• Breast tenderness
• Fatigue
• Headaches
