How long does it take to detect pregnancy?

Every woman who is preparing for pregnancy wants to get pregnant as soon as possible so that she can have her own family of three. Therefore, she is always very anxious when her period is delayed by one or two days and wants to test whether she is pregnant.

In order to know whether you are pregnant as soon as possible, you must pay attention to how long it takes to detect pregnancy.

There are currently three main methods for early pregnancy testing. One is to test HCG with blood, one is to use early pregnancy test strips, and the other is to use B-ultrasound examination. There are certain differences in the time of these three methods, but the most commonly used method for female friends is to test with early pregnancy test strips.

Early pregnancy test paper to test pregnancy: 18 days after intercourse or if menstruation is delayed by 7-10 days, you can test whether you are pregnant. Because after the sperm and egg combine to form a fertilized egg, it takes 6-8 days for the endometrium to implant, and then 7-10 days for the HCG secreted by the placenta to enter the urine. The working principle of the pregnancy test paper is to detect the HCG value, which is the value of human chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone is produced by the placenta and usually appears in the urine a few days after pregnancy. However, due to the small amount, it is difficult to test it at the beginning and it only becomes increasingly obvious after 10-14 days. Adding the two together, it is scientific to test whether you are pregnant from your urine 18 days after having sex.

Pregnancy can be detected at the earliest seven days after sexual intercourse, usually around fourteen days, and occasionally more than twenty days. The time to use early pregnancy test strips is about 14 days after sexual intercourse, and pregnancy can be detected from urine. The best time to take a pregnancy test is 18 days after the sperm and egg meet. It can be seen from this that in general, testing one month or 7-10 days after menopause is for more accurate results.

The above is an introduction to how long it takes to detect pregnancy using an early pregnancy test strip. In addition, if it is a blood test, the HCG value in the blood can generally be detected one week after ovulation. If you use B-ultrasound testing, although you can see whether you are pregnant in the fifth week, if you want to see the baby's development, you need to wait until around the eighth week.
