Approximately four days after fertilization, the egg will start to produce a pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hGC). A pregnancy test will detect this hormone about one week after fertilization. Most women tend to wait to take a pregnancy test until after they have missed one menstrual period.

If you take it too soon after fertilization, it may show up negative when in fact you really are pregnant. Pregnancy test are meant to be considered screening tests.
Salt to sodium. To convert grams of salt to milligrams of sodium, divide the salt figure in grams by 2.5 and then multiply by 1,000 to get milligrams. So grams of salt Ã· 2.5 = grams of sodium X 1,000. Example6 grams of salt 6g Ã· 2.5 = 2.4g salt ...o you can't just halve the weight of salt to find your sodium intake. Sodium is roughly 40 per cent of the weight of salt, with chloride the remaining 60 per cent. In tiny quantities, both sodium and chloride are essential for health and growth.
But they are not for everyone, so it is essential that you talk to your doctor before using one. Most salt substitutes (including Morton Salt Substitute, NoSalt and Nu-Salt) consist of potassium chloride, which tastes somewhat like sodium chloride (table salt) but does not raise blood pressure.âLiteâ or âlow-sodiumâ salts (such as LoSalt and Morton Lite Salt) are blends of sodium chloride and potassium chloride. Eating more potassium-rich foods can help lower blood pressure. 2  Good sources include dairy foods, bananas, leafy greens, potatoes, citrus fruits and beans. 3  These foods contain other nutrients and phytochemicalsâbeneficial for blood pressure and overall healthâthat salt substitutes lack.
