How many days beyond the menstrual period can pregnancy be detected

You can go to the hospital for an HCG blood cell test 7 days after having sex to find out whether you are pregnant.

How long does it take for a pregnancy test to show up?

If the pregnancy test stick is used properly, the result will be reliable after 11 days of pregnancy. However, if the operation method is incorrect, the result may be uncertain. Therefore, before using the pregnancy test stick, you must first understand its operation method and common problems.

The pregnancy test stick is determined by measuring HCG in urine. Therefore, it is best to use the first urine test in the morning, because female hormones are most easily detected at this time. If it is really bad, make sure the urine is in the bladder for at least four hours before testing. However, if there is no urine in the morning, do not drink too much water in order to increase urine, because this will dilute the level of growth hormone.

Before using the pregnancy test stick, you must read the instructions carefully and follow each step accurately. If you take medicine regularly, you need to read the instructions carefully, because some medicines may affect the test results, so you must read the labels carefully.

If one comparison line appears after the pregnancy test stick test, it means that you are not pregnant. If two comparison lines appear, that is, both the comparison line and the detection line are colored, and the detection line is obviously clear, it means that you are already pregnant. If the contrast line is obviously clear and the test line is very light, it indicates that you may be pregnant. Please collect morning urine with a new morning paper and test again after 2 days. If no contrast line appears within 5 minutes, it indicates that the experiment has failed or is unsuccessful. At this time, you need to test again with a pregnancy test stick.

How long does it take to detect pregnancy?

1. On-site sampling of early pregnancy test strips Most women with regular menstrual cycles can use early pregnancy test strips to check whether they are pregnant about 3-5 days after their menstrual period. If the test strip shows two red bars, it means that you are pregnant, otherwise you are not pregnant.

2. The time for B-ultrasound examination: 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 a B-ultrasound examination to see if you are pregnant. If you see a pregnancy halo under the B-ultrasound, it means you are pregnant.

3. Basic body temperature test in the early stages of pregnancy This type of test can be said to be the earliest method of early pregnancy test, and it can also be said to be the longest method of early pregnancy test, because daily temperature measurement must be maintained for at least one week. This type of measurement method is difficult to master and requires a long period of continuous measurement, so the utilization rate is also low.

4. The time for blood HCG test to detect pregnancy: Generally, you can go to the hospital for a blood test for HCG about 10 days after having sex to check the composition of hCG in the blood. Pregnancy can be detected a few days after ovulation. The principle of pregnancy test is to detect a special substance in the body's urine. Generally, it will appear in the urine a few days after pregnancy, but due to the small amount, it is not easy to test it at the beginning, and it will become increasingly obvious after 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, the sensitivity of each test strip is different, and the test varies from person to person.
