Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell.
These tests can detect pregnancy earlier than a home pregnancy test, or about six to eight days after ovulation. But with these tests, it takes longer to get the results than with a home pregnancy test. Two types of blood pregnancy tests are available: A qualitative hCG test simply checks to see if hCG is present.
Your body does not produce this hormone until implantation (when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall). Iplantation does not occur until 6-12 days after ovulation. The soonest you can take a pregnancy test and get a positive test result is seven days after ovulation. Even though you can take the test this early, keep in mind that most women will get a false negative at this time. Levels of hCG may not be high enough in your system to register on the test.
