What are the earliest ways to know you are pregnant?

When women are preparing for pregnancy, they must pay attention to their emotions, diet, and daily routine, as these will have an impact on their pregnancy. In terms of diet, they should eat more high-protein foods, which will greatly help improve the body's immunity. So what are the earliest ways to know about pregnancy? This is something that many women are not very clear about. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have some understanding of this type of issue.

The earliest way to know pregnancy:

Early pregnancy test paper judgment:

1. Positive (+): Two purple-red bands appear. One

2. Negative (-): Only a purple-red band appears in the quality control area (C), and no purple-red band appears in the test area (T). Indicates not pregnant.

3. Invalid: No purple-red band appears in the quality control area (C), indicating an incorrect operation process or the reagent strip has deteriorated and damaged.

Note: The color of the control line and the test line of the reagent strip may appear darker or lighter depending on the hCG content in the urine. The result is determined according to the above standards.

Pregnancy time required for various testing methods:

Test paper test: Generally, early pregnancy can be detected one month after the menstrual period has stopped, but sometimes due to various factors, some women will be tested later. If the test paper test is negative, it is recommended to do a blood test.

Blood test (HCG) test: Blood test (HCG) is the earliest way to know the pregnancy result. You can do a blood HCG test about 10 days after intercourse to confirm whether you are pregnant.

Type B ultrasound examination: As early as the 5th week of pregnancy, which is one week after the menstrual cycle, a round halo in the uterus, also known as the pregnancy ring, can be seen on the Type B ultrasound screen. The dark area inside the ring is amniotic fluid, in which a rhythmic fetal heartbeat can also be seen. Using B-ultrasound to diagnose early pregnancy is the most accurate and reliable method.

After understanding the earliest methods of knowing whether one is pregnant, women should be careful not to be too nervous when doing self-tests to see if they are pregnant. Emotional tension will also affect self-tests. In addition, women should wait for some time after self-testing so that it will not affect the test results. These are all things to pay attention to.
