Can pregnancy be detected on the 22nd day of menstruation
Generally speaking, self testing can be done 7-10 days after sexual intercourse, and pregnancy can be tested by morning urine with early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks.

How to detect pregnancy
1. The method of early pregnancy test strip detection is very simple. Women can test it at home. A specific hormone can be detected in the urine of women from the 8th to 10th day of pregnancy. Early pregnancy test strip is used to test the substance in urine. If two lines appear in the test strip, it is a positive sign, indicating that you are pregnant.
2. Blood tests are the earliest way to know the outcome of pregnancy. A blood HCG test can be performed about 10 days after sexual intercourse to confirm pregnancy.
3. B-type ultrasound examination can be performed as early as the 5th week of pregnancy (35 days), which means the menstrual period is delayed by one week (7 days). On the B-type ultrasound screen, a circular halo, also known as the gestational ring, can be displayed in the uterus. The dark area inside the halo is amniotic fluid, and rhythmic fetal heartbeat can also be seen. So using ultrasound to diagnose early pregnancy is the most accurate and reliable method.
4. Measuring body temperature, women generally have a pre ovulation body temperature of 36.5 degrees Celsius or below every morning after waking up. After ovulation, the body temperature rises by 0.3-0.5 degrees Celsius and remains stable for 12-16 days, with an average of 14 days. If the high temperature curve of basal body temperature exceeds 18 days, pregnancy can be diagnosed.
