If I can't test it twelve days after ovulation, is there still hope?

Many women who are preparing for pregnancy need to know the time of ovulation and how long it will take to detect pregnancy after ovulation. However, due to inaccurate calculations, or having sex during ovulation, but still not detecting whether pregnancy after 12 days or more than ten days, there is no need to be discouraged. Let's learn how to detect ovulation and how long it will take to detect pregnancy.

1. How to monitor ovulation?

For women with regular menstruation, the ovulation period is generally 14 days before the next menstruation. You can use ovulation test strips to monitor ovulation starting from the 10th day of menstruation. The ovulation period is about 24 hours after the two red lines are measured. There is a possibility of conception during sexual intercourse within 2-3 days before and after the ovulation period. In addition, for women who cannot detect or are not obvious with ovulation test strips, ovulation can be monitored by color ultrasound, which will more accurately measure the ovulation period.

For people with irregular menstruation, the ovulation period is also 14 days before the next menstruation. You can start monitoring 4-5 days before this time. Some people with irregular menstruation may not ovulate, which is more common in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome and requires further treatment.

2. How long after ovulation can pregnancy be detected?

After conception during ovulation, the baby will implant in the uterus in 6-8 days. Pregnancy can be detected by testing the level of chorionic gonadotropin in the blood in 8-10 days. Pregnancy can be detected with an early pregnancy test strip about half a month after ovulation. About 20 days after ovulation, color ultrasound can be used to detect the gestational sac and yolk sac. About one month after ovulation, color ultrasound can be used to detect the embryonic bud and fetal heartbeat to confirm that the fetus is alive.

In summary, women can increase their pregnancy rate by monitoring ovulation during pregnancy preparation, and after conception, they can determine whether they are pregnant by testing the hcg level in blood or urine. You can use color Doppler ultrasound to determine whether the fetus is alive!
