For female friends, preparing for pregnancy is a very stressful process. They are afraid that they will not be able to conceive, and they are also afraid that they will not know after getting pregnant. Only those who have experienced this kind of feeling can deeply understand it. Every woman hopes to know if she is pregnant as soon as possible. So, how long can pregnancy be detected?
Firstly, women can undergo self testing 7-10 days after having sex without any contraceptive measures. They can use early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks to test their pregnancy by checking their morning urine. If it is tested too early, the accuracy is usually higher the later it is tested. Pregnancy can be detected as early as one week and as late as about three weeks.
Secondly, many women experience symptoms during early pregnancy, such as dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, breast enlargement, and a series of early pregnancy reactions. This phenomenon begins to become apparent 10-14 days after pregnancy and will disappear on its own after three months. If women experience these symptoms, they can use early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks to test for pregnancy. Some women may not have obvious feelings at the beginning and can also use early pregnancy test strips for testing.
Finally, women with normal menstrual cycles can go to the hospital to check for elevated levels of chorionic gonadotropin in their blood if their period does not arrive at the designated time. If there is an increase, it indicates pregnancy. If a pregnancy test is used, a weak positive reaction may also occur. You can continue to test with morning urine the next morning. If the color of the pregnancy test gradually darkens, it is confirmed that you are pregnant. If the menstrual cycle is abnormal, it is uncertain. You can calculate the duration of sexual intercourse. If there is an increase in chorionic gonadotropin in the blood about 10 days after sexual intercourse, pregnancy can also be confirmed.
