So yeah, some of us are a little out there, and touchy-feely.. But that's not all that guides our practice. Remember, naturopathic doctors go to real medical school. We take real board exams. Our hippie medicine works, and what we do is becoming less alternative and more conventional everyday.
Understanding How Early Result Pregnancy Tests Work. Early results tests promise results three or four days before your missed period. These tests assume a 14-day luteal phase, the time between ovulation and when you get your period. The problem is that you may have a shorter or longer luteal phase.
If you use a home pregnancy test after an hCG injection, it is advisable to wait 20 days before interpreting the test as positive or negative. The best way to detect a pregnancy after an hCG injection or shot is the hCG beta blood test. The blood test is much more sensitive than an urine pregnancy test. The blood hCG test can detect a pregnancy as early as 10 days after fertilization with one caveat. You need two tests several days apart. If you are not pregnant, then the blood hCG numbers will be zero or they will decrease. If you are pregnant then they will rise.
