It seems that you are suffering from
sterility because you have been trying to
conceive without success for more than a
year. It is not clear whether or not you
are ovulating, so you can visit a
gynecologist to confirm this. A vaginal
examination, hormonal analyses, a vaginal
ultrasound, and a Pap-test are the
necessary diagnostic tools for evaluating
the condition.
Regarding pregnancy tests: a pregnancy
test detects the hormone "human
chorion-gonadotropin" (hCG) that is
produced by an embryo’s outer layer, the
chorion. Production of hCG begins after
the implantation of the embryo on the
walls of the uterus. Implantation occurs
8-10 days after conception (around
ovulation) or 5 days before the next
period is due. Conception can occur 12
hours (at most ) after ovulation. If
implantation is successful, the next
menstruation is halthed (missed period)
and that is the first sign for a woman
that she might be pregnant. During those
8-10 days between conception and
implantation, a test may be negative
although conception has occured.
Likewise, a test can be positive during
the 5 days before the next period is due
without symptoms or signs of pregnancy (no
missed period).
Such thing like “implantation
bleeding” doesn’t exist!!!
You are not in a menopause. Menopause is
defined as lack of menstruation for more
than a year.
