How many days after ovulation can pregnancy be detected

In order to have a child of their own, many women have sex with their lovers during the ovulation period. As we all know, the chance of pregnancy is the highest during the ovulation period. Therefore, female friends want to check whether they are pregnant a few days after the ovulation period. So, how many days after the ovulation period can pregnancy be detected? What are the methods for early detection of pregnancy?

How many days after ovulation can pregnancy be detected?

The principle of pregnancy test is to detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the body's urine. Generally, trophoblasts begin to secrete a small amount of hCG on the 6th day after ovum fertilization, and hCG can be detected in the blood about 1 day later. It is the most sensitive way to detect pregnancy, and the positive hCG reaction in urine will appear later than in blood.

Although many pregnancy test strips indicate that women can take a pregnancy test one day after missing their normal menstrual period, in fact, the sensitivity of each test strip is different, and the test varies from person to person. How long after ovulation can pregnancy be detected? Initially, you can check whether you are pregnant based on blood hCG 7-10 days after ovulation, but because the amount of hCG is small in the early stages of pregnancy, it is not easy to test it out. If you use an early pregnancy test strip, you can check whether you are pregnant two weeks after ovulation.

How to test for pregnancy after ovulation?

1. Early pregnancy test paper. If you are in early pregnancy, it is best to use morning urine for the test. Because of the extraction of morning urine, hCG levels are higher. Generally, a test 2 weeks after intercourse can confirm whether you are pregnant.

2. B-ultrasound examination The time for B-ultrasound detection of early pregnancy is usually about a week after the menstruation is delayed. You can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination to see if you are pregnant. If you see a pregnancy halo under the B-ultrasound, it means you are pregnant. The main purpose of B-ultrasound examination in early pregnancy is to confirm intrauterine pregnancy, rule out ectopic pregnancy and trophoblastic disease, estimate gestational age, and rule out pelvic masses or uterine abnormalities. Generally, a gestational sac can be seen in the uterine cavity 35 days after menstruation; at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal bud and the initial primitive heart tube beating can be seen.

3. Test blood HCG. The early stage of pregnancy can be confirmed by testing blood HCG 10 days after intercourse. This is the earliest and most accurate testing method at present.

The detection of early pregnancy is relatively easy to a certain extent, but if the influence of human error is not eliminated, it is easy to cause the test results to be inaccurate. Now you should know how many days after ovulation you can detect pregnancy. I hope the above introduction can help you understand the test methods in the early stages of pregnancy. Finally, I wish every family has a healthy baby.
