Can I detect pregnancy after having sex for half a month?

In fact, if you feel pregnant after having sex, you can test the pregnancy in about half a month, usually one or two weeks. Usually, conceiving during the ovulation period will increase the chances of success, because the amount of eggs discharged by female friends will become larger at this time, which will make the probability of sperm and egg combining higher. Once a fertilized egg is formed, the pregnancy status can be tested.

Self-determination of ovulation date

Using ultrasound or laparoscopy, the doctor can directly observe how the ovaries slowly release a mature egg. In most cases, women themselves are unable to observe this and can only know that they have ovulated again this month when their next menstrual period arrives. However, with some simple knowledge, women can know whether and when they are ovulating.

Self-test method (I): basal body temperature method

The body temperature of a normal woman measured immediately after waking up after a full sleep is called basal body temperature. It is usually the temperature measured in the early morning before getting up. In the days before ovulation, the basal body temperature is generally below 36.5℃. On the day before ovulation, the body temperature drops a little bit. On the day of ovulation, the body temperature is the lowest. One day later, the basal body temperature begins to rise by more than 0.5℃. It takes about 12 to 16 days until menstruation occurs. Each woman can calculate her ovulation day based on this regular basal body temperature from the day with the lowest temperature.

Self-test method (II): Cervical mucus method

Many human organs (hollow organs) have a wonderful ability to open and close themselves, and the uterus is the same. On the surface, the cervix is ​​connected to the vagina and is unobstructed. But this is not the case. During the menstrual period, it allows menstruation to be discharged. In the second half of the menstrual cycle, the mucus secreted by the uterus is sticky and thick, forming a "plug" blocking the cervical opening. At this time, even the most powerful sperm cannot pass through this "checkpoint" of the cervical opening. But during ovulation, the mucus secreted by the uterus is clear and thin, the cervix opens, and sperm can easily pass through and enter the uterus. After 24 hours, the cervix closes again on its own. Therefore, you can know whether you are in the ovulation period by observing the condition of your cervical mucus. The leucorrhea flowing out at this time is like clear nasal mucus.

Self-test method: (III) Schedule method

Women with regular menstruation can use calendar cards to calculate their ovulation period. Generally speaking, ovulation occurs on the 14th day before the next menstrual period. Mark this date on a calendar card and arrange your sex life accordingly to make it easier to conceive.
