			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="OneDecision" href="http://flickr.com/photos/31710514@N08/3695929643" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3540/3695929643_cabebb7d76.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /></a>There are many women who still do not know for sure whether they can get pregnant while on their periods or not.  This concern has been around the discussion table a long time and it is important to consider the two sides to it.  The first issue presented here is whether you can conceive when you have sex during menstruation and the other is whether you can bleed and then discover that you are pregnant.  Both issues raised above can occur and the following is a description of how they can happen.  To escape all the challenges that may come, it is important to keep in mind that you can conceive any time of the month and this information will empower women for better planning.</p>
<p>It is possible to get pregnant while experiencing your monthly period for the following reason.  For a zygote to form, the egg and the sperm have to meet and unite and this can happen at the fallopian tubes as well as the uterus.  In many cases, fertilization will happen in the fallopian tubes also called oviducts but if it makes its way towards the uterus, it can still get fertilized.  As menstruation occurs, the egg might propel towards the uterus and when there is sperm, fertilization and pregnancy will occur.</p>

</script></div><p>When the egg is fertilized, it will work towards implantation which will be made possible by the lining of the uterus.  To make implantation possible, chemicals will be produced in the body to prepare for the gestation of the pregnancy.  Some bleeding can occur at this time and many will think they are having their normal periods as usual.  Bleeding will not rule out pregnancy and it is vital to confirm this with test results.  Another thing to be aware of is that ovulation itself is able to cause bleeding and this is not uncommon at all.</p>
<p>Therefore, if one has unprotected sex during their period then pregnancy is possible. What you need to know is that pregnancy during this time is not uncommon and if you are not planning to get pregnant, it will be wise to use protection.  Protect yourself not just from pregnancy but from sexually transmitted infections as well.  Take note that sperm is able to live and survive in the female body for up to 3 days and sometimes more.  This is to say that the ova can get fertilized easily before it leaves the body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to taking <a href="http://www.daybydaypregnancysigns.com" target="_blank"><strong>home pregnancy tests</strong></a>, a lot of people have a fear that they will be unable to truly determine what the results from the test are. The reason people want to know right away is so that they can start their <a class="ld_link" href="http://pregnantandhealthy.com" target=" " title="pregnancy diet">pregnancy diet</a> and start getting the proper prenatal care. So that is why it is so important to go with a test that is sure to give you results that you can understand versus being just as confused as before you took the test.</p>
<p>There are a lot of tests on the market that offer results given in little pink lines. While sometimes the lines can come through extremely clear, this is not always the case. Sometimes the result can be extremely hard to read and this is why most people would rather just avoid those types of tests all together. If you are like that then you may to consider picking up a digital pregnancy test so that there is no confusion that will take place. The digital pregnancy test will give you a clear yes or no answer so that you do not have to do any guessing.</p>
<p><strong>Where To Buy The Tests</strong></p>

</script></div><p>Now that you have decided to go ahead and go with the digital pregnancy test there are a lot of places that you can find them. A lot of department stores are now carrying the digital pregnancy test and of course you can always find them in your local drug stores. The digital pregnancy test will be with all of the other types of pregnancy tests so they should not be all that hard to locate. There is a chance though that you will not be able to find it so easy in certain stores.</p>
<p>The only thing is though that some stores are no longer keeping the digital pregnancy test on the shelves. It seems that there are a lot of people out there trying to steal their pregnancy tests. This means that if the digital pregnancy test cannot be found on the store shelf that you are going to have to ask for assistance from someone behind the counter. While it may be embarrassing it is something that you are just going to have to go through in order to get the test that you need. Simply ask for the test and be done with it because you will be happy once you are able to take the test and get the clear results from it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When talking about home pregnancy test, there&#8217;s so much choice that one get rapidly get confused. The problem with that choice is the range of quality is very broad and for something such as pregnancy, where emotions are very high, you do not want to get confused and lost. This means getting the best, most reliable pregnancy test possible, and that is the <a href="http://www.enjoyhealthypregnancy.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-test/ept-home-pregnancy-test.html" target="_blank">EPT home pregnancy test</a>.</p>
<p>The world of pregnancy test abonds and there exists all types available out there. Among all of these, the EPT home pregnancy test is very efficient and fast. It will be able to tell you quickly and simply whether you are pregnant or not. Most pregnancy tests you have to wait two days before your menstrual cycle, but with the EPT test you can test as early as a week before.</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-5891496861393323";
/* 250x250, created 12/7/09 */
google_ad_slot = "0993807057";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></div><p>You also want to be confident about the result and, again, the EPT is the best choice. Its accuracy is over 99%, well over many other tests. And this is really what you want. Imagine how desastrous it would result for you to have a false positive, having all the illusion of waiting for a baby and finally knowing that it was not the case.</p>
<p>On the contrary of false positive, you should take into account the risk of false negative. By this, I mean that despite that EPT is nearly 100% sure, taking the test too early could result of thinking you&#8217;re not pregnant when you are. Most of you will want to have the news as soon as possible. But, you must understand that the functioning of the EPT test is based on the hormone HCG, and it may well not be that strong enough in the early days. Do not desperate. Wait until its time. Anyway, you will still have nearly nine month to enjoy your pregnancy and each moment of it.</p>
<p>Now, if you find that you&#8217;re pregnant with your <a href="http://www.enjoyhealthypregnancy.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-test" target="_blank">EPT home pregnancy test</a>, you should still consult a doctor and have him confirm before fooling around. The accuracy of the test is very high and it should just result in the confirmation but one is never enough sure.</p>
