Can I test for pregnancy after 10 days of sex?

Female friends who want to get pregnant as soon as possible will always pay attention to their body changes, especially the changes in the body after having sex with their husbands for a period of time. They will use pregnancy test strips, pregnancy test sticks and other pregnancy test methods to test whether they are pregnant, so as to give birth to a healthy and smart baby in the future and prepare for pregnancy. So, is it possible to detect pregnancy 10 days after having sex? Let’s figure this out together.

Can I detect pregnancy 10 days after having sex?

1. The sperm and egg combine and stay in the bilateral fallopian tubes for 3-5 days before the embryo implants in the uterine wall. Some are earlier, some are later, and some are very different. Morulas are produced 3-4 days after fertilization, and embryos are produced 6-8 days after fertilization. Embryo implantation begins 6-8 days after fertilization and is complete on 11-12 days.

2. The time it takes for male sperm to reach the fallopian tubes from the vagina is usually 1-1.5 hours, at most a few minutes. These sperm that reach the fallopian tubes lose their ability to get pregnant after 3 days. When women are in their childbearing years, the uterus and ovaries release a perfect egg every month. After the egg is released, it is captured by the fallopian tube umbrella and enters the fallopian tubes. Within 24 hours after the egg is released, if it encounters sperm in the fallopian tubes, the egg will be surrounded by a group of sperm, of which only one sperm can penetrate into the egg for fertilization. The egg cell after fertilization is a combination of sperm and egg. The sperm and egg combine in the fallopian tubes, grow and develop, and slowly move toward the uterus. About 7-8 days after fertilization, they reach the uterus and embed into the uterine wall, constantly absorbing nutrients to slowly grow and develop into a mature fetus.

In general, as long as the mother makes adequate preparations during the pregnancy period, maintains a happy mood and rich nutrition, then the angel baby will surely come. Therefore, the actual effect that may be measured at 10 days of pregnancy is not very significant. It is scientific to test whether the pregnancy is confirmed by urine 18 days after intercourse.

How long does it take to detect pregnancy using a test strip?

The body's hCG gonadotropin is produced by the embryo and usually appears in the urine a few days after pregnancy. However, due to the small amount, it is not easy to test it at the beginning, and it will become increasingly obvious from 10 to 14 days. (HCG value can also be measured through blood test, and it is much more accurate). Although many pregnancy test strips indicate that women can take a pregnancy test one day after missing their normal menstrual period, in fact, not all pregnant women excrete the same rate and amount of HCG hormone, which varies from person to person. The principle of using early pregnancy test strips for pregnancy testing is to test the HCG value, that is, the value of hcg gonadotropin in the body. This type of growth hormone is produced by the embryo, and the body begins to metabolize hCG gonadotropin 10-14 days after pregnancy. After metabolism, it first appears in the blood, and then appears in the urine along with the respiratory system. However, due to the small amount, it is not easy to test it at first, and it becomes increasingly obvious after 1-2 weeks of pregnancy. Neither too early nor too late will have good results. It can be detected at the earliest 7 days after intercourse, generally 18 days, and in rare cases it may take 20 days or so.
