In fact, the normal pregnancy process of women is quite long. Many people think that the early stage is very easy to understand, but they don’t know exactly when it can be checked. Normally, the sperm and egg provided by the man will meet in the fallopian tubes of the woman, and after combining under certain conditions, they will form what we often call sperm and egg fusion. After a period of time, they will enter the woman's uterus and successfully settle down. In other words, pregnancy is successful. And the whole process will not take too long, two or three days is enough. In simple terms, whether a woman is successfully pregnant or whether her contraceptive measures are successful can be directly identified within three or four days after intercourse.

Generally speaking, you can test yourself 7-10 days after having sex. You can test pregnancy by testing morning urine with a pregnancy test strip or pregnancy test stick.

In short, you can test whether you are pregnant within one week after having sex, or about three weeks at the latest.

Generally speaking, in the early stages of pregnancy, women will experience a series of early pregnancy reactions such as dizziness, nausea, sleepiness, breast tenderness, etc. These reactions usually become more obvious 10-14 days after pregnancy and disappear on their own after three months. Therefore, if a woman has the above symptoms, she can use pregnancy test strips and pregnancy test sticks to test for pregnancy.
