Hello,
A friend of mine was talking to me about
her aunt who is a rather large woman not
finding out she was pregnant for several
months and I was wondering if it takes
overweight women longer to achieve a
positive pregnancy test?
My friend is rather overweight and has an
irregular cycle to begin with but she is
now more than two weeks late, she was
complaining that her breasts were hurting,
nipples swollen with blue veins coming up,
and really bad heartburn (which ends up
causing nausea) and she's terrified that
she may be pregnant but due to her weight,
her body is absorbing or recycling more of
the hormone and giving her negative test
results. I didn't know whether hCG, like
estrogen, is fat soluble or not so I
didn't know what to tell her.
Any information would be appreciated.
