How long does it take for the period to be delayed before the pregnancy test is confirmed?

In our daily life, most married couples want a baby of their own, so how long does it take for them to detect pregnancy after sexual intercourse? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

Because the menstrual cycle is affected by many factors, it is generally normal for women to have their period delayed by less than 10 days. However, if the woman's lifestyle is normal and there are no influences of mood, disease or medication, it is very likely that she is pregnant or has urinary system diseases.

How many days of delayed menstruation can detect pregnancy?

You can test for pregnancy on the day your period is delayed. You can use early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks to test your morning urine. If you test again one week after your period is delayed, the result will be more accurate. Go to the hospital for a pregnancy test. Blood hCG test is currently the fastest and most accurate pregnancy test method, and it can usually be tested about 10 days after having sex.

If menstruation is delayed, the possibility of pregnancy should be ruled out first. In addition, it is also necessary to further determine whether the delayed menstruation is caused by other physiological 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 bars appear on the early pregnancy test paper after menopause, pregnancy is considered; if one of the two red bars is lighter in color, it is called a weak positive, and a follow-up visit is required after a week. Blood test for pregnancy is more accurate and does not require fasting to be performed. Go to the hospital outpatient clinic for a pregnancy test. Testing hCG in the blood is the fastest and most accurate pregnancy test method at this stage.

Generally speaking, male sperm can reach the female's bilateral fallopian tubes within 1-2 days after intercourse, and tightly combine with the female's discharged egg cells in the bilateral fallopian tubes to produce sperm-egg fusion. The combination of sperm and egg is promoted by the microvilli in the fallopian tubes on both sides, and it will take about 6-7 days to reach the uterus. If the conditions are met, the embryo can implant on the uterine wall. Embryo implantation is a sign that a woman is pregnant. Therefore, it takes at least 6 or 7 days from fertilization to pregnancy.
