The most obvious manifestation after a female friend becomes pregnant is menstrual pause. So when menstruation is delayed, women will undergo early pregnancy testing. But if tested too early, even if pregnant, it is likely that it will not be detected. So, how many days after a woman stops menstruating can pregnancy be detected?
Performing a blood HCG pregnancy test can detect pregnancy earlier than using early pregnancy test strips, so it can be done on the day of menstruation. Generally, it takes 6-7 days for the fertilized egg to implant, and during the 8-9 days after sexual intercourse, the blood HCG concentration is relatively high, making it suitable for HCG testing. Blood HCG testing does not require fasting and results can be obtained on the same day.
If you use early pregnancy test strips for pregnancy testing, you will have to wait a few more days before the test can be done when your menstrual cycle is delayed by one week. Women should use early pregnancy test strips, preferably with morning urine, to obtain more accurate results. If the test strip shows two red lines, it means the woman is pregnant. Everyone should be aware that if the red line is too deep or too shallow, a re examination should be conducted a few days later.
If a woman ovulates later, even if her menstrual cycle is delayed by one week, it is likely that she will not be able to detect pregnancy. Such women need to undergo another test two weeks after their menstrual cycle is delayed. If after testing, it still shows that there is no pregnancy and menstruation has not come, it is necessary to go to the hospital for HCG testing.
