We all know that if sexual intercourse is performed during ovulation, the likelihood of pregnancy is relatively high. Even if conception is successful after sexual intercourse, it takes some time to detect it, because it takes time for sperm and egg to combine to form a fertilized egg. So, can pregnancy be detected 8 days after sexual intercourse? Let's take a look together below.
Can it be measured after 8 days of cohabitation
In general, early pregnancy testing can be used when menstruation is delayed by about a week, or after about 10 days of sexual intercourse, one can go to the hospital for a blood test to determine if they are pregnant. It is recommended to actively undergo examinations based on one's own situation, and then treat the symptoms accordingly. If there are any problems, actively seek medical treatment from a doctor.
If it is eight days after sexual intercourse, early pregnancy test strips or HCG tests taken at the hospital cannot monitor whether pregnancy has occurred. It is recommended that you undergo blood tests at the hospital seven to nine days after sexual intercourse to confirm if you are pregnant. The blood test is relatively accurate, and the accuracy of paternity testing is very high.
A few days after sexual intercourse, pregnancy can be detected
Usually, early pregnancy test strips are used to detect the level of chorionic gonadotropin in urine to determine pregnancy. This can only be measured two weeks or more after sexual intercourse or seven days after menstrual delay. Of course, it is also possible to go to the hospital for a blood test about 10 days after sexual intercourse to determine pregnancy. Therefore, a weak positive result cannot be detected eight days after sexual intercourse.
Therefore, if pregnancy is detected using pregnancy test strips, it can only be detected 15 days after sexual intercourse, and if you go to the hospital for an HCG test, it can be detected as early as 10 days after sexual intercourse. So, even if pregnancy is successful 8 days after sexual intercourse, it cannot be detected. It is recommended to wait a few days before testing again.
