Can I detect pregnancy 10 days after sex?

Women who are preparing for pregnancy usually observe changes in their bodies anytime and anywhere after sex. However, waiting for test results after sex is a particularly long process. For women who want to get pregnant, it is even more of a torment. There are many ways to determine pregnancy. The most common ones are bleeding or pregnancy test strips. It has been ten days since sex. Can pregnancy be detected?

Can I detect pregnancy 10 days after having sex?

1. The fertilized egg stays in the fallopian tube for 3-5 days and then implants in the endometrium. Some are earlier, some are later, and some vary greatly. 3-4 days after fertilization, morula is formed, and blastocyst is formed 6-8 days later. Implantation begins 6-8 days after fertilization and is complete in 11-12 days.

2. The time it takes for sperm to reach the fallopian tube from the vagina is as fast as a few minutes, but generally takes 1-1.5 hours. These sperm that reach the fallopian tubes lose their ability to conceive after three days. When women are in their childbearing years, their ovaries release a mature egg every month. After the egg is released, it is captured by the fallopian tube umbrella and enters the fallopian tube. Within 24 hours after the egg is released, if it encounters sperm in the fallopian tube, the egg will be surrounded by a group of sperm, of which only one sperm can penetrate into the egg and fertilize it. The egg after fertilization is called a zygote. The fertilized egg develops in the fallopian tube and gradually moves towards the uterine cavity. About 7-8 days after fertilization, it reaches the uterine cavity and implants into the endometrium, where it continuously absorbs nutrients and gradually develops into a mature fetus.

In short, as long as the mother makes adequate preparations, maintains a happy mood and rich nutrition during the pregnancy preparation period, the little angel will definitely come. Therefore, the results of the test at 10 days of pregnancy may not be very obvious. It is scientific to test whether the pregnancy is confirmed from the urine 18 days after intercourse.

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

Human chorionic gonadotropin 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 to 14 days. (HCG values ​​can also be measured through blood tests, which are much more accurate). Although many types of early pregnancy test strips indicate that women can do a pregnancy self-test one day after missing their normal menstrual period, in fact, not all pregnant women emit HCG hormones at the same rate and in the same amount. This varies from person to person.

The working principle of using early pregnancy test strips for self-pregnancy testing is to detect the HCG value, that is, the value of human chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone is produced by the placenta and begins to be secreted by the body 10-14 days after conception. After secretion, it will first appear in the blood, and then appear in the urine through the circulatory system. However, due to the small amount, it is not easy to test it at the beginning, and it will not become increasingly obvious until 1-2 weeks after pregnancy. Neither too early nor too late will have good results. The earliest it can be detected is 7 days after intercourse, generally 18 days, and in some cases more than 20 days.
