Is it pregnancy if the period is delayed for 2 days?

Generally, women find out they are pregnant by calculating the time of their menstruation. Since you will not have your period after you become pregnant, when your period is delayed for a long time, women need to consider whether they are pregnant. However, delayed menstruation is also very common in women who are not pregnant. So some women find that their menstruation is delayed by two days. Could it be that the delayed menstruation is caused by pregnancy?

1. How many days of delayed menstruation is considered pregnancy

Under normal circumstances, if your period is delayed by 7 to 10 days, you can consider whether you are pregnant, and you can do a pregnancy test in about 10 days. If the test shows pregnancy at this time, it is basically certain. Therefore, if you have not taken any contraceptive measures before and your period is delayed about a week, you can take a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test will be relatively accurate if your period is delayed about 10 days.

2. Will delayed menstruation affect pregnancy?

A normal menstrual cycle for women is usually 28-35 days. Delayed menstruation can be divided into mild and severe cases according to the time. In mild cases, if menstruation is only delayed 1-2 times occasionally and there are no other discomfort symptoms, then it is not considered delayed menstruation and is not a big deal. In severe cases, if the menstrual cycle often lasts more than 35 days, it is called oligomenorrhea. If menstruation stops for more than 3 months, it is called amenorrhea. Oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea are both serious menstrual disorders that may lead to osteoporosis and infertility. Women must pay attention to them and go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time.

Therefore, delayed menstruation is not unfamiliar to women. If it happens 1-2 times occasionally, you can rest assured that it is normal. However, if it happens frequently and there is infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea, you should seek medical attention in time and go to a hospital or other regular medical center to check the cause to avoid it developing in a more serious direction.

3. How to determine whether you are pregnant

With the advancement of science and technology, pregnancy testing technologies have also increased. Common ones include B-ultrasound, urine tests, blood tests, pregnancy test sticks and early pregnancy test strips, all of which can detect whether you are pregnant or not. Among them, pregnancy test sticks and early pregnancy test papers are simple and quick to operate, but there is a certain error rate. The hospital's B-ultrasound, blood tests, urine tests and other methods are relatively accurate and guaranteed.
