After having sex, most women in couples who are preparing for pregnancy are eager to know if they are pregnant, so as to make sufficient mental preparations in advance to avoid unknowingly violating some pregnancy taboos and causing incalculable serious consequences to the health of the fetus. So, how to check if HCG is pregnant?
If both husband and wife are prepared for pregnancy and have no contraceptive measures after regular sexual activity. At the same time, menstruation has also been delayed to varying degrees, and women need to pay attention to this. In general, within seven to ten days after sexual intercourse, a blood test for chorionic gonadotropin can make a relatively accurate judgment. If the test result exceeds 3, 10, or 25, it indicates that the patient is pregnant.
Although the reference values may vary from hospital to hospital, in order to facilitate patients' timely preparation and understanding of the values and the meaning of the examination results, normal reference values are generally attached after the corresponding values on each test form. If the patient's test results exceed the normal reference value, it indicates a higher likelihood of pregnancy. Patients will experience a doubling of chorionic gonadotropin every two to three days, which can also rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
Of course, if the patient is not pregnant, the test results will be lower than the normal reference value, which is not fixed and will constantly change with changes in human hormone levels. It should be noted that if the patient's examination time is too early, there is a high possibility that it may be lower than the reference value. Therefore, patients must undergo a blood HCG test about ten days or even longer after both partners have sexual intercourse, so that the test results can be more certain.
