urine test during pregnancy

With the note on hydration and different coloured urine during pregnancy, you require more water to stay hydrated during pregnancy so its easy to become dehydration and end up with darker urine at that point. I had a similar issue a couple weeks ago so I did a test where I drank 2-3 glasses of water.. Next time I went, it was no longer dark..

today and they yold me that I must test my urine in a lab. But I have to wait for 10 days after my last antibiotics. So I will get that done next week and keep you posted.

At about 34-36wks they do the group b strep swab and they may also do a urine test to screen you for preeclampsia if they think you are at risk.

Was curious if anyone knew why exactly the doctors ask you to pee for every doctor visit? They already know im pregnant, so its not a pregnancy test. What exactly do they test the urine for though?

I'm 38+3wks I smoked until 2 weeks ago. I'm in TX and if they've tested me they haven't said anything about it being in my system. I used it to help with severe migraines, sciatica pain, and to help maintain an appetite. I know they do test your urine when the baby is born and they test the baby's urine. So just be careful of you chose to continue to smoke.

I didn't have any issues with pregnancy test when I found out but a good friend of mine has some questions so I figured I'd ask. I took my pregnancy test in the morning when I woke up, but if you take it during the day could it make difference between a pos and neg result?

Is it possible to have a negative urine pregnancy test and then have a positive blood test? Next fri. I am to go in and do a urine test and a blood test. They said I would get the urine test right away but the blood test they would have to call me later on. Just wondering if I get a negative urine test is there still hope for pregnancy? Also they transferred 2 embryos so would you be able to tell if there are still 2 if the HCG level is high?

s why first morning urine is suggested for pregnancy tests, the hcg is built up in the urine from not going pee all night). she needs to make an appointment with an ob/gyn appointment asap to get started on prenatal vitamins and to have her blood work done.

It may just be a UTI (urinary tract infection) common during pregnancy and that's how someone women find out they are pregnant. But congrats!

I am breastfeeding exclusively and have had only one period and spotted 2 weeks later. So, I took a pregnancy test last week and it was positive. I took another this afternoon and it was negative. Any thoughts?

cause i wanted to do a test 1 week ago so i used a 500ml bottle to gather the urine, and i actually filled up the whole bottle and the urine was dark but my test was negative. im still urinating frequently but i dont know whether this is related to anxiety..but i feel very tired and i have no PMS syndromes thats the weirdest thing of all....i dont have cravings dont have bloatedness..

and We are so excited, however last friday, my doc found on my urine test E-Coli and put me under Ciclor 500mg 3 times per day (10 days), I dont like to take any medications, please help me I want to know if it is secure medication for my baby! thanks and God bless you'll.

Low sensitivity tests also influence it, as they need high levels of the hormone present to detect it. If you read the pregnancy test box it should say first morning urine is recommended as well.

they are obviously not worried about the bleeding, since that has been explained....now, when they do a urine test, they should have been able to read the nitrate levels, b/c if there were any nitrates, it would indicate an infection..... idk about the round ligament pain, i've not had it that i know of....

First morning urine is what you should use in early pregnancy as urine during the day is diluted. If I were you I'd take a retest and take it in the morning as the result will be more reliable.

Did u get urine Dr test to determine uti?my doc said that its not good during pregnancy as it can cause pre mature rupture of membranes.

Hello, If you are apprehensive regarding the status of your pregnancy you can get it checked. Most home pregnancy tests that check urine beta-HCG are sensitive to 20-25 mIU/ml of HCG. The test can be positive anywhere from about 2-3 days prior to a missed menses to 4-5 days after, but usually it should be done 7-10 days past your missed period. Otherwise you can get a serum HCG also done which is more specific than urine pregnancy test.

yesterday I have submitted my urine sample for a preg test. I am expecting the report today evening. I was supposed to go for a team outing with my office collegues this friday (4 Nov)...its a packaged trips to a semi-hill station. I am in a doubt if I shoudl travel as the package is quite hectic...without much break.

I had a miscarriage on 2/22 and my HCG level is still at 10 as of April 8. I did a urine test at the dr's office same day on April 8 with negative result. Today, 4/13 I did a home pregnancy test and it's positive. What's this mean? is there a difference from the urine test given at the lab and urine test at home?

Its probably because yu took the negative test with unconcentrated urine...

I took a pregnancy test about 1 hour after the last time I urinated. Will this give me a false negative result? I have all of the symptoms of pregnancy too.

It depends on what kind of test you used and how far spaced apart you took the test. Were the digital or line test? Line test are more sensitive and digitals are not. Blue dye test are not reliable I would always use a pink dye test. If you answer some of these questions I might be able to help further.

I took a dollar store test during the day yesterday and it came out light positive, Then I took a FRER today and it was around 3:00 and it was negative. I would be 7 weeks. Is it possible I am pregnant?

A test at this point should be more than accurate. Get another one (pink dye is recommended) and take it with first morning urine. If this too is negative, make an appointment with your doctor and have blood testing done.
