My period was delayed for 11 days and the pregnancy test stick showed a line.

If your period is delayed for 11 days, a pregnancy test stick is a good choice. If the pregnancy test stick shows a red bar and is negative, it may be that you are not pregnant, or the embryo has implanted late and cannot be detected. You can go to the hospital for a blood test to confirm. In addition to pregnancy, which can cause delayed menstruation, there may be other reasons, such as gynecological inflammation, or recent fatigue, staying up late for a long time, depression, cold, sudden change of environment, etc., which may also cause menstruation to be delayed for 11 days. You must first identify the cause of the disease and treat it symptomatically.

How many days of delayed menstruation can I test for pregnancy

The length of a woman's menstrual cycle varies from person to person, so the question of whether a delayed menstruation can be considered a good start requires in-depth analysis of the specific situation. However, generally speaking, if there is no menstruation for more than 7 days in a fixed cycle, and women who had sex before did not take good contraceptive measures, women who had normal menstruation will definitely worry about whether they are pregnant.

If a woman has a normal menstrual cycle, she can test for pregnancy if her period is delayed by about 10 days. This time is relatively more accurate than 7 days. If the menstrual cycle was abnormal before and women have obvious menstrual irregularities, they need to consider that delayed menstruation may not be due to pregnancy, but may be other problems in the body.

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for a woman's menstruation to be delayed by one week. At this time, if you want to know whether you are pregnant, you can try a pregnancy test. The longer the pregnancy period, the more accurate the test result. It is believed that the basic principle of early pregnancy test strips is to detect the growth hormone hcg produced by the embryo. This growth hormone usually appears in the urine during pregnancy. Because the amount of hcg in the early stages of pregnancy is small and may not be detected, it will not become obvious until the menstruation is delayed for more than a week. Therefore, if you want to improve the accuracy of the pregnancy test, you can wait 10 days after the menstruation is delayed before testing for pregnancy. However, the results of self-test pregnancy may also be biased.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, you can consider going to the hospital for an early pregnancy test about 10 days after your period is delayed. In addition, it should be noted that not everyone can be tested for pregnancy after 10 days of delayed menstruation. Because some people may be able to detect pregnancy after 20 days of pregnancy, but for others it may take 40 days or longer.
