If a woman engages in sexual activity during ovulation, with normal and healthy sperm entering her body, and the eggs released by the woman also have the ability to fertilize, then the woman may become pregnant. At the moment when the fertilized egg forms, the woman has already successfully conceived. How many days after successful conception can it be measured? If you don't know, read this article quickly.
1、 How many days of pregnancy can be measured
Generally speaking, early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks can be used for testing 7-10 days after sexual intercourse. But the accuracy is not high enough at this time, and it usually takes 9 days after fertilization to ensure accuracy. Because pregnancy testing is generally determined by measuring the concentration of HCG in the blood or urine, which is the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin. However, the changes in HCG concentration in the blood and urine after pregnancy go through a process, so the longer the time after sexual intercourse, the more accurate the test will be. In addition, using early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks for pregnancy self testing also has certain deviations, and further diagnosis requires going to the hospital for testing.
2、 The main symptoms of early pregnancy
After conception, a woman's body will experience a series of special symptoms, and these typical symptoms can also assist in determining whether she is pregnant to a certain extent.
1. Menstrual cessation
In general, it is normal for menstruation to be delayed for about seven days, but if it is delayed for more than ten days, it is necessary to check if you are pregnant. Of course, sometimes excessive mental stress and some gynecological inflammations can lead to delayed menstruation. So, when menstruation is delayed for more than 10 days, you can go to the hospital for further confirmation.
2. Nauseous
Chest tightness and nausea are typical symptoms of pregnancy, and this symptom appears relatively early. Generally speaking, after six months of pregnancy, as the body gradually adapts to pregnancy, this symptom will gradually alleviate. In addition, different people have different symptoms of morning sickness. Some pregnant women may feel nauseous all day long, while others may feel nauseous at certain times of the day, such as waking up early or at night.
3. Urinary frequency
Frequent urination is another typical symptom of pregnancy and a natural phenomenon of pregnancy. Expectant mothers do not need to worry excessively. Generally, after 12 weeks of pregnancy, as the uterus gradually expands beyond the pelvic cavity, this symptom will naturally be relieved.
4. Changes in basal body temperature
After pregnancy, there will be some fluctuations in body temperature. The basal body temperature of a normal woman shows a bidirectional curve, which means that her body temperature will change before and after ovulation. During ovulation, women's body temperature will be relatively high. If there is a delay in menstruation and the basal body temperature does not decrease after rising for more than half a month, it is likely to be pregnancy.
In addition to the above four symptoms, there may also be symptoms such as fatigue, overeating or loss of appetite, emotionality, sensitivity to odors, and weight gain.
3、 The best time for early pregnancy testing
The optimal time for early pregnancy testing varies depending on the chosen method of pregnancy testing.
1. Early pregnancy test strip testing time
If using early pregnancy test strips to detect pregnancy, you can choose to test 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period is delayed. After testing, if the test strip shows two red bars, it indicates pregnancy, while the opposite indicates no pregnancy.
2. Ultrasound examination time
If you want to check pregnancy through ultrasound, you can go to the hospital for ultrasound examination seven days after the menstrual period is delayed. Generally speaking, the accuracy of ultrasound examination results is still very high.
3. Basal body temperature testing time
The basal body temperature testing method is to test one's basal body temperature continuously for at least seven days after the menstrual period is delayed. If the basal body temperature remains at a high level for multiple consecutive days, it is likely to indicate pregnancy.
4. Blood HCG detection time
After about 10 days of sexual intercourse, couples can go to the hospital for this test to determine if they are pregnant.
Through the introduction in this article, it can be known that it takes about 7-10 days for a woman to determine whether she is pregnant after successful conception. If you are a female friend who has successfully conceived, you can observe your physical condition and choose the correct method to test for early pregnancy, so as to know as soon as possible whether you have successfully conceived.
