Early detection of pregnancy

The moment of finding out that you are pregnant is filled with strong emotions that can be emotions of delight but also panic. No matter what the feeling is, your life will experience radical changes from that moment on.

Early symptoms that indicate a possible pregnancy:

• Absence of regular menstruation
• Frequent feeling of nausea
• Breast swelling

Methods for early detection of pregnancy:

• Urine analysis - pregnancy can be determined from urine if it is older than two weeks (ie it is possible to confirm pregnancy already with the absence of menstruation)
• Blood analysis - beta HCG - the most reliable method that determines pregnancy by biochemical blood analysis (also already 2 weeks after intercourse)
• Ultrasound method - after 3 weeks from conception or 5 weeks from the last menstruation. With this method, pregnancy is confirmed and further management of the pregnancy is planned by consulting a gynecologist.
