Pregnancy test pictures

In today's modern society with rapid development of information, the explosion of information has enabled a lot of knowledge to be learned by people without relevant professional skills. For young parents who are preparing for pregnancy, it is very important to know whether they are pregnant in time, because only in this way can they pay attention to some external factors such as diet, environment and mood in their daily life in time to prevent them from affecting the growth and development of the fetus. Then, some people will ask, how to detect whether they are pregnant?

How to detect whether you are already pregnant

The principle of self-testing pregnancy in the early stages of pregnancy is to test the HCG value, that is, the value of hcg gonadotropin in the body. This hormone is produced by the embryo and usually appears in the urine a few days after pregnancy, but due to its small amount, it is not easy to test it at first, and it becomes increasingly obvious from 10 to 14 days. Although many pregnancy test strips indicate that women can take a pregnancy test one day after missing their normal menstrual period, in fact, not all pregnant women excrete the same rate and amount of HCG hormone, which varies from person to person. If you have to do a urine test, a negative result may be incorrect. Therefore, the best time to do a pregnancy test is two weeks after your period, so that the result will be more accurate.

You can detect whether you are pregnant 18 days after having sex or if your period is delayed by 7-10 days. After the fusion of sperm and egg, it takes 6-8 days for the embryo to implant in the uterine wall, and then 7-10 days for HCG secreted by the embryo to enter the urine. The sum of the two is the scientific method to test whether the pregnancy is confirmed by urine 18 days after intercourse. Pregnancy can be detected within the first seven days of sexual intercourse, usually around fourteen days, and rarely more than twenty days. It can be diagnosed by self-test strips or HCG testing in the hospital.

The best way to test your pregnancy at home is to use products such as pregnancy test sticks and early pregnancy test strips, but if you are in the early stages of pregnancy, the test results may not be completely accurate. It is recommended that if you want to know whether you are pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible for blood tests and urine tests, which will be more accurate.

How long does it take to test pregnancy?

I believe many people have heard of pregnancy test sticks. Although pregnancy test sticks can detect whether you are pregnant, female friends who need to test for pregnancy still need to pay attention to the following suggestions to improve the accuracy of using pregnancy test sticks to test for pregnancy.

1. Try to use the first urine in the morning for testing, as female hormones are easiest to detect at this time. Don't drink too much water to increase your urine, as this will dilute your growth hormone levels. Some medicines may affect the test results, so be sure to read the labels carefully.

2. How long does it take to detect pregnancy with a pregnancy test stick? The ovulation period is around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. Assuming that fertilization is successful at this time, it will take 6 or 7 days for the combination of sperm and egg to produce HCG. The pregnancy test sticks are all based on the detection of HCG in urine. HCG actually starts to secrete in large quantities after the fertilized egg implants, and the transformed trophoblasts begin to secrete and produce HCG in large quantities. It takes at least 11 days for the fertilized egg and embryo to implant. Therefore, for the first 6 days, if you want to be more precise, wait until 11 days, then it will be more accurate.
