What's wrong with the weak ovulation test strip on the 7th day of sexual intercourse
If the ovulation test strip is weak after sexual intercourse, it does not mean pregnancy. It is necessary to test the early pregnancy test strip 2 weeks after pregnancy. Testing on the 7th day after sexual intercourse may indicate that hormone levels have not completely decreased after ovulation and does not necessarily indicate pregnancy. If you are worried, you can go to the gynecology department of the hospital for more than 10 days to have a blood test to see if you are pregnant. This method is relatively fast and accurate.
