Most women who are confirmed to be pregnant will experience a stage of delayed menstruation, which means that the fertilized egg in the uterus is in the implantation stage. At this time, the endometrium will no longer undergo periodic shedding, but will gradually thicken with the successful implantation of the fertilized egg. Therefore, many women preparing for pregnancy will repeatedly use a pregnancy test stick to test for delayed menstruation. So, is a four-day delay in menstruation considered pregnancy?
Is a four-day delay in menstruation considered pregnancy
1. If pregnant, pregnancy can be detected within 7 days of sexual intercourse without waiting for menstrual delay. As early as 14 days after sexual intercourse, pregnancy can be detected using test strips. If the blood HCG test is negative after three days of menstrual delay, it indicates that the patient is not pregnant. You don't need to check anymore.
2. A blood HCG test can be done 10 days after the earliest sexual activity to determine whether you are pregnant. You can check it according to the time of your sexual activity. In addition, if your menstrual cycle is regular, it is normal to occasionally have an early or delayed period of one week to 10 days, and you can observe for a few more days.
3. If the menstrual cycle continues to be delayed, use early pregnancy test strips to check after 7 days of delayed menstrual cycle. Fasting morning urine is more accurate, and two red lines are displayed on the test strip, indicating pregnancy. On the 14th day after sexual intercourse, early pregnancy test strips can be used to preliminarily determine whether pregnancy has been successful. Of course, the accuracy of the test is higher on the 7th day after amenorrhea.
Symptoms of women in early pregnancy
1. During the early stages of pregnancy (1-3 months), the basal body temperature of expectant mothers remains at a relatively high level. Due to hormonal changes, your emotions may become easily agitated and you may often feel unhappy over small things. At the same time, various early pregnancy reactions may also disrupt your original life and make your mood worse. However, everything will gradually improve.
2. In the first three months of pregnancy, your physical changes are not very obvious, and you look just like an ordinary woman. For you, you don't have to see yourself as a special person at all. You can eat whatever you want, do happy things, and forget about discomfort; If you feel unwell, lie down and rest. Try to maintain your original pace of life, making yourself more relaxed and comfortable.
Menstrual delay is the most obvious signal to determine early pregnancy, but the delay time is mostly around 7 days. Although 4 days already clearly indicates the delay of menstruation, at this time, whether it is physical reactions or the content of human chorionic gonadotropin in the body, it has not reached the level that can be detected by a pregnancy test stick or strip. Therefore, after waiting for a week to test, a definite result should be obtained.
