How long can you get pregnant if your period is delayed?

We know that girls will stop menstruating after they become pregnant. Many girls will worry about whether they are pregnant if their menstruation is delayed. Many girls are not ready for pregnancy, so they are very sensitive to delayed menstruation. If their period is delayed, they will be anxious all day and cannot concentrate on work. In fact, delayed menstruation does not necessarily mean pregnancy. So, how long does it take to delay your period before you can get pregnant?

1. How many days of delayed menstruation can detect pregnancy

When menstruation is delayed, the possibility of pregnancy should be ruled out first. In addition, it is necessary to further clarify whether the delayed menstruation is caused by other pathological factors. When menstruation is delayed for more than 10 days, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to determine the cause.

If two red lines appear on the pregnancy test paper after menopause, pregnancy is considered; if one of the two red lines is lighter in color, it is called a weak positive and needs to be rechecked after one week. Blood tests for pregnancy are more accurate and do not require fasting. Going to the hospital for an early pregnancy test and having blood drawn to test for hCG in the blood is currently the fastest and most accurate method of testing for pregnancy.

Generally speaking, sperm can reach the woman's fallopian tube within 1-2 days after intercourse, and combine with the egg released by the woman in the fallopian tube to form a fertilized egg. Pushed by the cilia in the fallopian tube, the fertilized egg will reach the uterus after about 6-7 days. If conditions are right, it will implant in the endometrium. Implantation of the fertilized egg is a sign that a woman is pregnant. So it takes at least 6 or 7 days from fertilization to pregnancy.

Second, because the menstrual cycle is affected by many factors,

Generally speaking, it is normal for women to have their period delayed by less than 10 days. However, if a woman's lifestyle is normal and she is not affected by emotions, illness, medication, etc., then she is very likely pregnant or has a reproductive system disease. Women can use early pregnancy test strips to test pregnancy. It is best to go to the hospital for a detailed B-ultrasound examination, which will have a higher accuracy rate.
