Do irregular periods effect hcg levels?

I have always had irregular periods, like every 3 to 6 months I get my period. Lately it has been about every 2 months. I have a lot of symptoms of an early pregnancy… very tired, can’t sleep at night, implantation bleeding, bad breath, and just have felt like I’m pregos! I think I conceived around the 26th of August if I did. I took a urine at home test this morning and it came out negative. I was wondering if my irregular periods can effect my HCG levels and make them lower? Or am I taking the test to early? Thanks for the help!

Irregular periods will not affect HCG levels.

If you ovulated on Aug 26th then you are not testing too early, but you might have ovulated later than you think, in which case it could be too early.

At this point, its a waiting game……..waiting for that + HPT or waiting for your period.

Good luck!

Does shortness of breath and a more rapid heartbeat accompany early pregnancy?

I haven’t taken a pregnancy test yet but i am about 90%
sure that i am pregnant.

A pregnant women has a more rapid, bounding heartbeat because her heart is compensating for another body ( the baby). Shortness of breath would come later when the baby is larger and it is taking up space, pushing the lungs in the upper cavity.This decreases their size, hence the sob. Fatigue is also a usual sign of pregnancy.Frequent urination will occur again when the baby is taking up space and pressing against the bladder. As for the other signs, they could mean pregnancy or another thing. Now, you need to take a pregnancy test. I suggest your primary physician, or a clinic, instead of a home pregnancy test. that way you can probably get an exam at the same time, just in case you are pregnant.
