  Women can get pregnant naturally when they have sex with a man without using any type of birth control (even using them because almost everyone has a margin of error), regardless of get pregnant or not, and to continue or not Complete tricks Lola recommendations and gave us to increase the chances of pregnancy.

What can happen next? There are women very intuitive, sensitive and great translators of changes in your body that can feel a pregnancy at an early stage.

This ability may be due to the early emission of hormones: progesterone high level (which only occurs during pregnancy) and the production of HGG ( human chorionic gonadotropin ) once the embryo is implanted, seven days after fertilization .

Symptoms that can be heard are:

• The increase in basal temperature . If the temperature stays above 37 ° C at the end of the cycle and the rule does not, there are many chances of pregnancy.
• Breast tension . For many women is the real sign of pregnancy. From the first days after conception, the breasts are preparing for what will be a very important function in feeding. So are enlarged and tense, so you may notice the veins.
• Drowsiness . Hormonal changes can result in greater need for sleep.
• Mood swings . It is not a cliché. Emotions are often close to the surface, and the mood swings are very common.
• The delay of the rule . You can be the first indicator though not totally reliable. The delay can be caused by certain diseases, after an emotional shock or a change in our routine, holidays, etc..

But let's face it, most of us usually do not feel anything special and many of these suspicions may be false alarms caused by anxiety or hope.

When checking that menstruation has not arrived we must resort to more rigorous testing scientifically personal intuition. These pregnancy tests are:

1. urine test . There are two types: commercial tests sold in pharmacies and those conducting their own pharmacy to have a laboratory service.

Commercial tests are usually the first method of inquiry because it is discreet, immediate and rapid.Let us find out for sure at the slightest suspicion but its effectiveness is high only when the result is positive. If it is negative, we have all lost and we should not rule out pregnancy because maybe it's too early to detect the levels are too low or HGG.

In this case, although we are anxious to know the outcome, it is best not to repeat the test and not spend money needlessly, but wait a few days for another urine test or ensure the result with a blood test.

Recall that in the posts " how and when to take a pregnancy test "and whether" urine tests are unreliable or misuse "and explain that you have to wait at least 15 days after fertilization, which are well used reliability between 97 and 99% and although it is said that only give false negatives and false positives , all women know that the opposite happens: the test the doctor said yes and then no.

That is, in general, serve a first confirmation but then you have to validate this result.

Two. Blood : What makes the gynecologist and confirm or rule out pregnancy accurately and even a little earlier than urine tests.

Three. Pelvic examination: the doctor or midwife can do a pelvic examination at 6 weeks after the last period. If no pregnancy the cervix end will have softened and uterus appears softer and elongated.

April . Actually there is a definite last pregnancy test is the ultrasound . Between the 4th and 5th week and can see the embryonic vesicle and in the 6th and will be the embryo and hear the heartbeat. If after the sixth week is through a transvaginal ultrasound empty the embryonic vesicle, may be a blighted ovum (embryo but there is no pregnancy test was positive), but it is advisable to wait a week or two to confirm the diagnosis.

Anyway when we seek a pregnancy and the results of these tests are negative, do not get discouraged and keep trying with serenity and enthusiasm because anxiety, obsession and stress are often poor fellow conception.
