Can I detect pregnancy if my period is delayed for 6 days?

Women who have sex will become very anxious once their menstruation is delayed, so they will suspect that they are pregnant and rush to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test stick to test their pregnancy. But if you want to test pregnancy correctly, time is very important. So can I detect pregnancy if my period is delayed for six days?

The answer is yes. But generally speaking, it takes 6-8 days for the embryo to implant. Therefore, if you want a more accurate pregnancy test result, it is better to use the pregnancy test stick about a week after your period.

If a woman wants to check whether she is pregnant, she can use the following three pregnancy test methods:

1. Early pregnancy test paper/pregnancy test stick. Whether it is an early pregnancy test paper or a pregnancy test stick, the basic principle of pregnancy testing is actually the same. If a woman suspects that she is pregnant, she can test it at home using an early pregnancy test paper or a pregnancy test stick. After the menstruation is delayed for more than a week, women can take the first urine after waking up, and then use an early pregnancy test paper or pregnancy test stick to test.

2. B-ultrasound. In the fifth week of pregnancy, women can use B-ultrasound to check whether they are pregnant. The doctor will use B-ultrasound to observe whether there is a pregnancy ring in the uterus and the fetal heartbeat to determine whether the woman is pregnant.

3. Take body temperature. This method requires women to carry out it before ovulation. Before ovulation, you need to measure your body temperature every morning. The body temperature is generally below 36.5 degrees. After ovulation, the body temperature will rise to a certain extent, about 38.8-37 degrees. This body temperature will last for 12-16 days. If the ovulation temperature curve exceeds 18 days, then you are pregnant.
