      How long does it take to detect pregnancy? I had sex with my husband on the 2nd without any contraceptive measures. My period should be on the 9th, but every time it was irregular, it would be a few days late. But this time it was more than 10 days late and it still didn’t come. I used a test strip and it showed negative. I would like to ask if my period can be tested with a pregnancy test strip now? I went 10 days late for my period Hospital Can it be found out by doing B-ultrasound?

      Answer: How long does it take to detect pregnancy if your menstruation is regular every month.

      You can take the test about 40 days after your last menstrual period and buy a pack of pregnancy test strips. Generally, morning urine is more accurate, which is the first urine after getting up in the morning. Urine at other times can also be detected, but sometimes it is not very accurate. It is best to do morning urine self-examination at home. If you go to the hospital to test it, it may not necessarily be morning urine. Can't you still confirm the diagnosis? When pregnancy can be detected at 40-50 days, the chorionic gonadotropin hormone in the body is the highest, and the content of morning urine is the highest during the day, so morning urine is relatively better. If your period is delayed every month, just take the test a few days later. This is the easiest and fastest way. You can also go to the hospital and do a B-ultrasound to find out.

      How many days can pregnancy be detected at the earliest but my period has not come yet? Can I detect whether I am pregnant now? If so, how many days can I detect pregnancy at the earliest? Pregnancy can be detected 18 days after intercourse or if menstruation is delayed for 7-10 days. Because in sperm After combining with the egg to form a fertilized egg, it takes 6-8 days to Uterus After endometrium implantation, HCG secreted by the placenta can enter the urine 7-10 days later. Adding the two together, it is scientific to detect pregnancy in the urine 18 days after intercourse. Pregnancy can be detected within the first seven days after sexual intercourse, usually around fourteen days, and rarely more than twenty days later. The pregnancy can be confirmed by using test strips or by HCG examination in the hospital.
