How many days can I know if I am pregnant at the earliest?

For many female friends whose menstruation is not very regular, they are always worried about getting pregnant after having sex. At this time, there are many methods to test. Generally, there will be a certain amount of progesterone in the urine about a week after sex, which can be detected with an early pregnancy test paper. Let us learn about the fastest way to detect pregnancy and the method of pregnancy testing.

Generally, if the menstruation does not come on time that month, you can go to the pharmacy to buy early pregnancy test strips for urine test (morning urine works best) for about 10 days. If there are 2 red lines on the early pregnancy test strip, it indicates positive and the possibility of pregnancy is very high. After that, you can go to the hospital to have blood drawn for HCG testing to confirm whether you are pregnant. The HCG test results are more accurate. About 60 days after confirming the pregnancy, go to the hospital for an ultrasound test to check the development of the gestational sac, fetal bud and fetal heart rate to confirm that the fetus has implanted and developed normally.

2. Can a pregnancy test be used to detect pregnancy in less than one month?

The first thing to make clear is that the pregnancy test paper is not 100% accurate. It is measured based on the HCG content in the urine. If the menstrual cycle is regular, the ovulation period is generally 14 days before the next menstruation. If conception is successful at this time, then the fertilized egg will take at least 6 or 7 days from the beginning of implantation to the production of HCG. The pregnancy test stick judges by measuring the rising HCG in the urine at this time. HCG actually starts to be secreted in large quantities after the fertilized egg implants, and the syncytial trophoblast begins to secrete large amounts of HCG. It takes at least 11 days for the fertilized egg to implant. Therefore, the earliest time to test is 6 days, but if you want a more accurate test result, it is best to wait until after 11 days, when the HCG value will be relatively high.

For female friends who do not want a baby for the time being, it is best to take safer contraceptive measures during their normal sexual life to minimize the harm caused by the female group who give birth late. They can also calculate their safe period based on the menstrual cycle, which is also very beneficial for contraception.
