How long can a woman be pregnant?

I believe every woman knows that pregnancy can be detected with a test strip, but it is not very clear how long the pregnancy can be detected with the test strip. Sometimes, women only use the test strip to detect that they have not had their period after two months of pregnancy, but at this time, it does not make much sense. It is recommended that women who are planning to become pregnant should understand this common sense in advance. Let’s read on with the experts.

If the man ejaculates after the woman has sex, the sperm will take 24 hours to enter the woman's fallopian tube, where it will combine with the egg released by the woman to form a fertilized egg. The fertilized egg will reach the uterus after about 6 to 7 days, pushed by the cilia in the fallopian tube.

At this time, the answer to women's questions about how long it takes to detect pregnancy is not very clear, but if women want to know very accurate results, it takes about 8 days from intercourse to pregnancy. After 3 days of pregnancy, there will be some changes in the woman's body or urine, and then the pregnancy can be tested very accurately. Generally speaking, it is 11 days after intercourse.

Precautions

Women who use test strips to test for pregnancy should do so in the morning when they first urinate. The results will be more accurate at this time. However, women who have been pregnant for some time can choose any time period because the urine has changed significantly by then. Therefore, urine at any time of the day can be used for testing.

If the result displayed after pregnancy test is a purple-red line, compare it with the C line marked above. If it appears above, it means you are not pregnant. If two purple-red lines appear in the test area, compare the C line and the test line T line, which indicates pregnancy. The color intensity of the test line at different stages of pregnancy changes with the change of HCG concentration. However, if: no purple-red line appears in the test area or only one purple-red line appears in the test area, it means that the test result is invalid and you need to buy a new one for testing.

I believe that after reading the above article, you already know how long it takes to detect pregnancy with a test strip. If you want to know the accurate result, you should wait 11 days after having sex. If the test strip is positive at this time, it means you are pregnant. However, if you want the test results to be more accurate, it is best to go to a professional obstetrics and gynecology hospital for a comprehensive examination.
