Getting a False-Positive Pregnancy Test
Unless you have been trying for a baby there is a feeling of panic when you take that HCG pregnancy test or one to be done at home, and you see those two strips appear. Usually it is recommended by doctors that you wait until a missed period before you take a test but sometimes it is hard to wait if you know you have had unprotected sex. In which case you need to take it two weeks from the date of the possible conception via a clinical laboratory blood test. They can tell if you are pregnant by checking for hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a chemical released when pregnant and can be found in the woman’s urine or blood. When using a home test they are 97% accurate but there is a slim chance of getting a false positive result.

The joy and excitement of pregnancy can sometimes get eclipsed by the negative impact it can have on a woman, in particular her body, including stretch marks. Some women do not think ahead to this time but it can cause depression when they feel unable to wear certain clothing and feel their sexuality has been impacted. Thankfully we live in a world where anything is possible and so nowadays there are things women can do during a pregnancy and after to minimize and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and for some women prevent them altogether.
