Women have their periods every month, and if there is a prolonged delay in menstruation, many female friends may suspect that they are pregnant. However, if you want to know if you are pregnant, it is best to use scientific testing methods to obtain more accurate results. So, how do women know if they are pregnant?
If you want to know if you are pregnant, you can buy pregnancy test strips at a pharmacy. If the pregnancy test strip shows positive, the woman needs to go to the hospital for examination, which is for final confirmation. Because pregnancy test strips can also have errors, the results obtained from blood tests and ultrasound examinations at the hospital are the most accurate, with almost no errors.
After pregnancy, there will be many symptoms, and female friends can also determine whether they are pregnant from these symptoms. Menstruation will stop during pregnancy. If menstruation is usually regular but suddenly delayed, and if there was no contraception during sexual intercourse before, it is mostly due to pregnancy. If necessary, go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
After the implantation of the fertilized egg, there is a significant change in hormone secretion in the female body, with a large amount of estrogen and prolactin secreted, which makes the breasts softer and may cause swelling and pain, which is very different from the pain during menstruation. In addition, after a woman becomes pregnant, the areola will also change and darken in color, which is a very obvious characteristic of pregnancy.
