Is it normal to delay my period by two days?

Working women are very busy at work. In addition to handling some official duties in their daily work, they sometimes need to attend some important events due to work. However, many diseases during the menstrual period may delay women from attending. Therefore, some women hope that their menstrual period can be delayed a little. So, how can we delay menstruation for two days?

How can I delay my period by two days? Is this normal?

1. Emergency contraception. Birth control pills are a common way to delay menstruation. Emergency contraception is a small dose of female hormone combined with a high dose of estrogen. This type of estrogen can keep the metabolism of the female uterine wall normal after taking it, and can increase and prevent exfoliation, thereby achieving the effect of delaying menstruation.

Dosage: (1) For women with regular menstruation, they can start taking emergency contraceptive three to five days before their menstruation, one tablet per night, and continue taking it. Generally, menstruation will start three to five days after stopping the medication. (2) To delay the menstrual cycle, you can start taking emergency contraceptives one week after the next menarche, two pills a day, until you stop taking the medicine three days before the predicted date, which can effectively achieve the effect of delaying the menstrual cycle.

2. Simple estrogen. The basic principle of taking growth hormone to delay the menstrual cycle is the same as emergency contraception.

How to take: There are many types of estrogen at present. The most commonly used estrogen for female friends is corpus progesterone copper, which is usually taken two to three times a day, two pieces at a time, but it can also be taken by injection of corpus progesterone copper. Just inject 20 mg of corpus progesterone copper a day, start injecting two to three days before the menstrual period, and inject until there is no need to delay the menstrual period. The injection is a natural herbal preparation, which has a relatively small effect on the digestive system, but because there is no estrogen, the delay effect is not as stable as emergency contraception.

Can I test for pregnancy if my period is delayed for two days?

1. How many days of delayed menstruation can be detected with a pregnancy test stick

Generally, if the menstrual cycle is delayed by about 7 days, you can use a pregnancy test stick to detect pregnancy, but this is not the case for everyone. If the result of the pregnancy test stick is relatively light, you cannot be sure whether you are pregnant or not. You can wait a few more days and try again, or go to the hospital immediately for an early pregnancy test. The accuracy of pregnancy test sticks from reliable and well-known brands is about 85% to 95%.

The pregnancy test stick determines whether you are pregnant by detecting HCG which is often contained in urine. Women ovulate around the 14th day of their menstrual cycle. If fertilization is successful at this time, it will take 6 to 7 days for the combination of sperm and egg to produce HCG. In addition, HCG actually begins to secrete in large quantities after the fertilized egg implants, and the transformed trophoblasts begin to secrete and produce a large amount of HCG, and it takes at least 11 days for the fertilized egg to implant. Therefore, if you want to be more accurate, wait 11 days before using the pregnancy test stick to test.

2. Urine test

Women who are preparing for pregnancy are advised to use the first urine test in the morning as it is easiest to detect female hormones at this time. The sensitivity of the pregnancy test stick is relatively high. Generally, it can detect whether you are pregnant two days after the sperm and egg combine in the uterus and the embryo implants, which means it can be detected about 7 days before the next menstruation. If the menstruation is delayed, the same can be applied.

In addition, if you want to know accurately and quickly whether you are pregnant, you can also choose to go to the hospital for a blood HCG test 10 days after sex. Whether it is an early pregnancy test paper or a pregnancy test stick, it is only the first step in pregnancy screening and cannot be used as a diagnostic method.
