How long after sex can I detect pregnancy?

In the information age, even little girls who have never given birth know that pregnancy means the successful fusion of sperm and egg and successful implantation in the uterus. However, even many mothers do not know how long this process will take, and how long it will take to detect pregnancy. I have asked many people, and they all said it will take at least one month. In fact, it is much earlier than everyone imagines!

1. How long does it take to detect whether you are pregnant after having sex? It turns out that many people don't know that it is already possible

If you want to know whether you are pregnant as soon as possible, the most accurate method is to test HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Once the sperm and egg combine and implant successfully in the uterus, the HCG in the blood will change immediately. If you have sex on the day of ovulation, you can see a doctor for a blood test 7-10 days after sex! This type of test is not 100% accurate, but it is much more accurate than pregnancy test sticks or test paper!

2. Apart from blood tests, is there any other way to test for pregnancy?

1. Is your menstrual period normal?

If your menstrual period has been very regular before, but it is delayed for no reason this time, it is almost certain that you are pregnant; if your menstrual period has been irregular before, this cannot be used to make a judgment.

2. Early pregnancy reactions such as breast pain, nausea and vomiting

If you are pregnant 20 days after having sex on the ovulation day, you will generally experience early pregnancy symptoms such as breast pain, nausea and retching. However, many women will also experience breast pain before their period, so this is not completely accurate. As for nausea and retching, if this reaction is more obvious when waking up, it is almost certain that you are pregnant.

3. Do B-ultrasound

Many people will see a doctor and do an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy after they find out they are pregnant. The ultrasound is used to check the gestational sac in the uterus. If it is too early, the gestational sac is too small and may not be visible by ultrasound. It will take at least one month after ovulation to see the gestational sac.
