After working hard to prepare for pregnancy for a long time, I worry every day about whether I am pregnant or not. This kind of mood seriously affects the quality of sexual life for couples in the future, and they always spend time in anxiety. Therefore, today I want to talk to you about a topic that many women preparing for pregnancy have been concerned about: can pregnancy be tested after 14 days of sexual intercourse?
Can pregnancy be tested after 14 days of sexual intercourse
1. If there is a delay in menstruation after 14 days of sexual intercourse, use a pregnancy test strip or a pregnancy test stick to test again. Because the time is short now, even if you are pregnant, the gestational sac has not yet entered the uterus, and even if you are pregnant, it may not be detected. You should pay attention to changes in the menstrual cycle.
2. If pregnant, from the 7th to 10th day of pregnancy, a specific hormone, abbreviated as HCG, can be detected in the urine of pregnant women, which is usually tested in the urine pregnancy test conducted in hospitals. Early pregnancy test strips also test for this substance. Due to its high sensitivity, some hospitals have used early pregnancy test strips as a preliminary screening test, which can generally be tested around 35 days after the last menstrual period, making it more accurate.
Precautions for sexual intercourse during pregnancy preparation
1. Do not have sexual intercourse during menstruation. During menstruation, the acidic secretions in the vagina are neutralized by menstrual blood to become alkaline, making it a good bacterial culture medium. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can easily introduce bacteria, leading to a decrease in female immunity and inflammation
2. Sexual activity should be prohibited during the first and last three months of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, if the placenta is not firmly established in the uterus, sexual intercourse can easily stimulate uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage. In late pregnancy, having sexual intercourse can easily cause premature birth, uterine bleeding, or postpartum fever. Sexual activity during the remaining months of pregnancy should also be moderate, with no vigorous movements or excessive pressure on the female abdomen.
There are many things that couples who want to have children should avoid and pay attention to. After having sex, they should also maintain a happy mood and the correct position, so that it is easier for sperm and egg to combine better and faster, and increase the chances of conception. So when it comes to the discomfort of having a child for a day or two, it's important to maintain a calm mindset. As the saying goes, being impatient doesn't mean eating hot tofu, and many things go naturally.
