How long will it take to know you are pregnant?

Some women do not have any obvious reactions during pregnancy, and even if they are pregnant, they do not know how to check whether they are pregnant. In fact, there are many ways to test for pregnancy, but they are usually not effective immediately. For example, detecting pregnancy through calculation of pregnancy or B-ultrasound are common methods, but these methods also require a certain period of pregnancy to be detected. So how long does it take to know that you are pregnant?

How long does it take to know you are pregnant?

If you have had sex without any contraceptive methods and your menstrual periods are usually regular, but now your period is delayed for more than a week, you may be pregnant and you need to do a pregnancy test. Delayed menstruation is the first symptom to appear, so when the menstruation is delayed for about a week, it is necessary to carry out a pregnancy test, and it may be detected at this time. You can go to the hospital for a blood test to confirm the early stage of pregnancy, or take a pregnancy test again after a few days. If it is a strong positive, it means you are pregnant.

You can do a blood test for HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) one week after sex to confirm whether you are pregnant. After 14 days, you can use a test strip to test your morning urine to confirm whether you are pregnant. An ultrasound can be done 40 days after menstruation to confirm it. If you are not planning to have a baby for the time being, you need to pay attention to taking appropriate contraceptive measures.

What are the early symptoms of pregnancy?

1. Changes in appetite. Some women begin to experience changes in appetite shortly after their menstrual period (1-2 weeks). I don’t like to finish the food I used to like. I don’t like to finish the food I’ve eaten once the second time. Some people really don't want to eat or even want to vomit, some people love to eat things with strange taste. Generally, after a dozen days to a month, this symptom will naturally disappear.

2. Frequent urination and urgency. In the early stages of pregnancy, many women experience frequent urination and urgency, some once an hour. This is a weather phenomenon and does not require treatment.

3. Mental fatigue. In the early stages of pregnancy, many women feel tired, weak, and sleepy. But this stage will not last too long and will pass quickly. Generally speaking, if a woman who has a normal sex life still does not have her period one week after her menstrual cycle, she should go to the hospital to check her urine to determine whether she is pregnant.

If everyone is willing to remember the above symptoms, pay more attention to whether they have these problems. Once any signs are found, they should do reliable tests in time. Moreover, a single test may not provide accurate test results. It is necessary to use the above methods at the same time to be on the safe side. Of course, if you have no intention of getting pregnant, you need to pay more attention to it in your daily life to avoid this problem from the root!
