How many days can I use the pregnancy test stick after my period is delayed?

We all know that if you want to test whether you are pregnant, you can go to the hospital, or you can use a pregnancy test stick or pregnancy test paper at home to determine whether you are pregnant. Some people will go to a Chinese medicine clinic to let the doctor feel their pulse to determine whether they are pregnant. Delayed menstruation is the most immediate sign of pregnancy. So how many days of delayed menstruation is the best time to use a pregnancy test stick? Do you know?

How many days after my period is delayed can I use the pregnancy test stick?

The length of a woman's menstrual cycle varies from person to person, so the question of whether a delayed menstruation can be considered a good start requires in-depth analysis of the specific situation. However, generally speaking, if there is no menstruation for more than 7 days in a fixed cycle, and women who had sex before did not take good contraceptive measures, women who had normal menstruation will definitely worry about whether they are pregnant. If a woman has a normal menstrual cycle, she can test for pregnancy if her period is delayed by about 10 days. This time is relatively more accurate than 7 days. If the menstrual cycle was abnormal before and women have obvious menstrual irregularities, they need to consider that delayed menstruation may not be due to pregnancy, but may be other problems in the body.

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for a woman's menstruation to be delayed by one week. At this time, if you want to know whether you are pregnant, you can try a pregnancy test. The longer the pregnancy is, the more accurate the test results will be. It is believed that the basic principle of the pregnancy test strip is to detect the growth hormone hcg produced by the embryo. This growth hormone usually appears in the urine during pregnancy. Because the amount of hcg in the early stages of pregnancy is small and may not be detected, it will not become obvious until the menstruation is delayed for more than a week. Therefore, if you want to improve the accuracy of the pregnancy test, you can wait 10 days after the menstruation is delayed before testing for pregnancy. However, the results of self-test pregnancy may also be biased. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, you can consider going to the hospital for an early pregnancy test about 10 days after your period is delayed. In addition, it should be noted that not everyone can be tested for pregnancy after 10 days of delayed menstruation. Because some people may be able to detect pregnancy after 20 days of pregnancy, but for others it may take 40 days or longer.

Is delayed menstruation harmful to the human body?

Many people believe that a menstrual cycle that lasts more than 25-30 days is an abnormal one. In fact, no, the normality of menstruation is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Some people have "period", but it does not mean that she is unhealthy. This is closely related to the level of estrogen and ovaries. A 7-day delay in menstruation will delay the end of menstruation by 10 years.

I'm not afraid of longer.

The normal menstrual cycle is 25-30 days. It is normal to be earlier or later than a week. However, some women's menstrual cycle may be delayed to two months or even longer, such as a quarter, which is medically called "quarters".

Despite this, it does not mean that you are healthier than others. If the estrogen level in the body is normal and the ovulation period is normal (the normal situation is that the left or right ovary releases an egg 12 days before the next menstruation), then this will not affect normal pregnancy and is a normal physiological phenomenon.

Estrogen is the most basic core element of women's health. From the first menstruation to menopause, estrogen controls the female physiological cycle for nearly 40 years. Estrogen is a female hormone secreted by the uterus and ovaries. Its amount is very small. Together with estrogen and androgen, it controls the normal functioning of the menstrual period through the three-level structure of hypothalamus-pituitary gland-pituitary gland-sex hormone.

The stability of estrogen secretion is the fundamental factor that determines whether the menstrual period is normal, rather than being reflected by the superficial "once a few days". Therefore, women with long menstrual cycles do not need to worry. As long as they can ensure the balance and harmony of their endocrine system, there is nothing to be afraid of even if their menstrual cycle is long.

Producing "late menstruation"

A woman's lifetime will produce about 400 eggs. The ovaries have an abundant period of about 30 years, but in fact there are 2 million immature eggs in the ovaries. If female hormones are sufficient, more than 400 eggs can be produced. But for most people, after these 400 eggs are excreted, they enter anovulatory menstruation until menopause. Female menopause is such a stage.
