Can pregnancy test sticks be tested half a month later?

Generally speaking, if you are having sex during the safe period, you can use a pregnancy test stick to check whether you are pregnant for half a month. Usually, no result can be detected. However, ten days after having sex, you can go to the hospital for a blood test to confirm whether you are pregnant. If you are confirmed to be pregnant, if you do not plan to have a child, it is best to go to the hospital for an abortion as soon as possible. If you plan to have a child, pay more attention to rest, strengthen nutrition, and maintain adequate sleep.

Can pregnancy be detected in half a month?

Pregnancy can be detected half a month into the pregnancy, usually around 7-10 days. There are currently four ways to detect pregnancy: urine test, ultrasound, blood test and gynecological examination. A urine test is the most common method of testing, and it can be done at home using pregnancy test strips or test sticks. If your menstruation is very regular every month, you can use test strips or pregnancy test sticks to test yourself about 40 days after your last menstruation. Generally, the test results of morning urine are more accurate than those of urine at other times. If your period is delayed every month, you can just test it after a few days. B-ultrasound examination is a fast and accurate method for diagnosing early pregnancy. Vaginal ultrasound can diagnose early pregnancy one week earlier than abdominal ultrasound. The presence of a gestational sac in the uterus is the earliest image seen during ultrasound diagnosis. In addition, you can also go to the hospital for a blood HCG test. The blood HCG test can detect whether you are pregnant within 7-15 days after sex.

Symptoms of Early Pregnancy

The most obvious and common phenomenon in early pregnancy is amenorrhea. Generally speaking, if your menstruation is regular, you should check whether you are pregnant if it lasts for more than a week. There are also a very small number of women who, even though they are pregnant, still have one or two menstrual periods, but the amount will be less than usual and the dates will be shorter. This situation is called "leaking menstruation" in traditional Chinese medicine. Many women experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, aversion to greasy foods, dizziness, and drowsiness. People with mild symptoms may experience a decreased appetite and occasional nausea and vomiting. People with severe symptoms will vomit whatever they eat, or even if they don’t eat, regardless of the time of day. The sense of smell is also particularly sensitive, and smelling certain odors will cause vomiting. Another phenomenon is: frequent urination. After pregnancy, the uterus gradually grows larger and presses forward on the bladder, and the capacity of the bladder becomes smaller and smaller. So when the urine accumulates to a certain level, you will feel the urge to urinate and go to the bathroom frequently, but it is only a trickle, not as surging as before. The same situation also occurs in the large intestine. Once the large intestine is stimulated, there is a feeling of urge to defecate. This situation will last for 3 months. After more than 3 months, the pelvic cavity will no longer be able to accommodate the enlarged uterus. The uterus will rise into the abdominal cavity, and the pressure on the bladder and large intestine will gradually disappear. Frequent urination and the urge to defecate will also be relieved at the same time. Pregnancy can also cause back pain, but it will only last for ten months at most. I believe that in the end, it will be diluted by the joy brought by the birth of the baby.

Best time to take a pregnancy test

1. Early pregnancy test detection time

Early pregnancy test strips can usually detect pregnancy two weeks after intercourse, and the urine tested should preferably be morning urine. The result will be more accurate if the test is delayed 5-10 days after the menstruation.

Use the early pregnancy test to check whether you are pregnant. If the test shows two red lines, it means you are pregnant, otherwise you are not pregnant.

2. Ultrasound examination time

The time for B-ultrasound detection of early pregnancy is generally about a week after the menstruation is delayed. You can go to the hospital for an ultrasound to see if you are pregnant. If you can see a pregnancy halo under the B-ultrasound, it means you are pregnant.

The main purpose of early pregnancy ultrasound examination is to confirm intrauterine pregnancy, exclude ectopic pregnancy and trophoblastic disease, estimate gestational age, and exclude pelvic masses or uterine abnormalities. Generally, a gestational sac can be seen in the uterine cavity 35 days after menstruation; at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the embryo and primitive heart tube beating can be seen.

3. Time of pregnancy test by blood hCG

To test whether you are pregnant, you can usually go to the hospital for a blood hCG test about 10 days after having sex.

4. Basic body temperature test early pregnancy time

Married women with bipolar body temperature have a high temperature phase that persists for 18 days and does not drop, which indicates a high possibility of early pregnancy. If the high temperature phase lasts for more than 3 weeks, early pregnancy is more likely.
