How long does it take to stop menstruation and know if you are pregnant
Having sex without contraception cannot rule out the possibility of pregnancy. It is best for women to test with early pregnancy test strips if their menstrual cycle is delayed by more than 7 days.
Generally speaking, if the menstrual cycle is delayed for more than a week, pregnancy can be detected, because under normal circumstances, it takes 6-8 days for the fertilized egg to implant. If having sex during ovulation, checking the early pregnancy test strip after the menstrual cycle is delayed for one week can confirm whether pregnancy is possible. Blood HCG can also be checked 7-10 days after sexual intercourse to determine pregnancy, which is the most accurate and earliest method of examination.
What are the early signs of pregnancy
