The timing of pregnancy testing is determined by a woman's accuracy in predicting the day of her menstrual period, as well as the technique of testing employed. Blood tests are more sensitive than urine tests and can be performed two days before a woman's period is expected to begin. By 10 days after a missed menstrual cycle, a urine or blood hCG test can be done with confidence. A woman may be able to ascertain whether she is pregnant the day she misses her period with a urine test, but the result may be mistakenly negative. If the first test is negative but pregnancy is suspected, the test may be repeated at a later date. When a doctor wants to diagnose or rule out an ectopic pregnancy or monitor a woman after a loss, he or she may perform quantitative blood hCG testing over several days. A woman may first have the standard signs and symptoms of pregnancy, but subsequently develop others that signal the pregnancy is not proceeding as planned. The following are some of the indications and symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy: Abnormal vaginal bleeding Lower abdominal pain or cramps on one side of the pelvis If left untreated, the following signs and symptoms may worsen: Weakness, dizziness Fainting or feeling faint Blood pressure that is too low Suffering from shoulder pain In the pelvic area, there is a sudden, severe ache. Flu-like symptoms and a fever Vomiting If left untreated, the region around an ectopic pregnancy might burst and hemorrhage, resulting in cardiac arrest and death. Prior to a medical operation or therapy that could be detrimental during pregnancy, an hCG test may be recommended.
