When a woman's menstrual cycle is delayed, if she suspects she is pregnant, she should undergo timely testing. You can purchase a pregnancy test paper and then you can test yourself. This is a very convenient pregnancy test method, as long as urine is tested with test strips. So, how long can a pregnancy test paper detect pregnancy?
About 10 days after sexual intercourse, pregnancy can be detected through a pregnancy test paper. Moreover, the longer the time spent in the same room, the more accurate the results of the examination will be. If tested too early, even if pregnant, it is likely that it will not be detected. Women can also go to the hospital for a blood test to determine if they are pregnant, and the results of the blood test are more accurate than those of a pregnancy test paper.
The working principle of pregnancy test paper is to detect HCG in urine. After a successful pregnancy, HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the body will significantly increase and also enter the urine. If a certain level is reached, it can be confirmed as pregnancy.
If a woman's pregnancy is too short, although the HCG in her body will also increase and enter her urine, it is likely that its level does not meet the standards for pregnancy. So when using a pregnancy test paper too early, even if you are already pregnant, it is likely that it will not be detected. So for the use of pregnancy test paper, it is necessary to master the timing.
