Women need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination before pregnancy, and if there are any physical illnesses, timely treatment is necessary. Having sexual intercourse during ovulation can greatly increase the chances of conception. If menstruation is regular, pregnancy can be detected after more than ten days of sexual intercourse. At this time, you can go to the hospital to have a blood test for HCG levels. So, how long can the results be obtained from the blood test during pregnancy?
Blood draw is to check the HCG value. If blood is drawn in the morning, the results can be obtained in the afternoon. It is recommended that women go to the hospital for HCG testing about 10-14 days after sexual intercourse. If the HCG value exceeds 5, the woman may be pregnant. Of course, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up the next day, usually three or more times. If the HCG value can be successfully doubled, it can be confirmed that pregnancy has occurred.
There may be some differences in the testing methods of each hospital, and it is recommended that women undergo HCG testing in the same hospital. After pregnancy is detected, progesterone testing is also necessary. If progesterone is within the normal range, it indicates that the fetus is healthy and the pregnant woman's uterus is suitable for fetal growth. If progesterone is detected to be too low, it needs to be replenished in a timely manner.
In general, the results of HCG testing can be obtained in the afternoon of the same day. If the HCG value does not double or increases slowly, it is necessary to consider the possibility of ectopic pregnancy and it is recommended to undergo ultrasound examination. If ectopic pregnancy is detected, timely surgery is needed to remove the gestational sac.
