After a woman becomes pregnant, her body may experience a series of reactions, such as nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and cessation of menstruation. The reason why women experience these changes is due to an increase in hormones in their bodies. But some women have small changes in hormones in their bodies, which makes early pregnancy reactions not obvious, so they do not realize they are pregnant, which is very dangerous. So, how many days after sexual intercourse can a woman be diagnosed with pregnancy?
Women can undergo self testing 7-10 days after sexual intercourse. At this time, women can use pregnancy testing tools such as pregnancy test sticks, test strips, etc. to test their urine and determine whether they are pregnant. The longer the interval between sexual intercourse, the higher the accuracy of the results obtained. So women can know if they are pregnant at least three weeks after having sex.
If women are unsure about the results of pregnancy testing tools, they can go to the hospital for a blood test. Whether it is a pregnancy test tool or a blood test, both use the HCG value in the female body to determine. Generally, after pregnancy, the HCG value in a woman's body will continue to rise. So when the HCG value in a woman's body exceeds a certain indicator, pregnancy testing tools and blood tests will show that the woman is pregnant.
However, after a woman confirms that she is pregnant, she still needs to undergo a B-ultrasound examination to confirm that she is pregnant in utero. If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, it cannot be determined by her HCG value. In addition, when women undergo pregnancy test strips, they need to take their first morning urine for testing because the first morning urine contains a higher amount of HCG values, making it less likely for testing errors to occur.
