There are two methods for detecting pregnancy: urine test and blood test, but there is a difference in the time of measurement between the two. Menstruation disappears when a woman is pregnant, so many people consider the absence of menstruation as a symptom of pregnancy. So, how many days can pregnancy be detected if menstruation does not occur?
If a woman's menstrual cycle is particularly regular, she can go to the hospital to have her blood HCG checked one day later to determine if she is pregnant. If there is an increase in HCG, pregnancy can be confirmed. If using early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks for testing, it is best to postpone the test for seven days after menstruation, because the HCG hormone in urine rises relatively late, so the time detected by the test strips will also be relatively delayed. It is generally recommended to have a color ultrasound examination to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy in the second half of the menstrual cycle.
If a woman had unprotected sex before and now her menstrual cycle is delayed, it is possible that she is pregnant. During pregnancy, it is best for women to maintain a good mindset, adjust their diet and lifestyle, avoid staying up late, and undergo prenatal check ups.
Menstruation delay in women may not only be caused by pregnancy, but also by other factors such as premature ovarian failure, amenorrhea, and irregular daily routines. Therefore, women who experience menstrual delay should first go to the hospital to investigate the specific cause. If it is due to pregnancy, it is a great joy. If it is caused by illness, timely treatment should be sought.
