People who are preparing for pregnancy are very concerned about whether they can successfully conceive, because it is really difficult to have a baby now. Many couples will do relevant examinations before preparing for pregnancy in order to ensure that the baby arrives early and to have good fertility. If both husband and wife are physically healthy, they can have a baby. How many days of sexual intercourse can we test for pregnancy?
Under normal menstrual cycles, couples can be tested for pregnancy through early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy sticks after about seven to ten days of sexual intercourse. Of course, the longer the time after sexual intercourse, the more accurate the test results will be. Overall, pregnancy can be detected as early as one week after sexual intercourse, and as late as half a month.
The principle of using early pregnancy test strips to detect early pregnancy is to check the HCG value. This hormone produced by the placenta will appear in the urine a few days after pregnancy, but due to its small amount, it may not be easy to detect if the intercourse time is short. But after ten to fourteen days of pregnancy, the amount will gradually increase, so the results are more accurate.
Women should be aware that although pregnancy can be detected through a pregnancy test stick or early pregnancy test strip, the specific time varies from person to person due to the different HCG values and rates emitted by different women. If the test results are negative too early, it cannot be determined that there is definitely no pregnancy. So it's best to test again after half a month in the same room.
