Pregnancy refers to the process in which sperm, after sexual intercourse, meet and fertilize the egg released from the ovary in the ampulla to form a fertilized egg, which is located in the endometrium of the uterine cavity. So, how can one know early that they are pregnant?
There are several methods for women to know if they are pregnant as soon as possible:
1. If a woman's menstrual cycle is regular, and after 30 days, the time for menstruation does not come, it may be a state of amenorrhea, at which point the woman should doubt whether she is pregnant. Women can test their urine with early pregnancy test strips after one week of amenorrhea to determine if they are pregnant. If the test results show two red lines and are positive, it indicates pregnancy; If the test result is a red line and negative, then there is no pregnancy. If menstruation does not occur without pregnancy, it may be due to menstrual disorders.
2. Generally, one can go to the hospital 8-10 days after sexual activity to undergo HCG for diagnosis of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, HCG values will increase significantly, and HCG is currently the earliest and most accurate method of pregnancy testing.
3. In early pregnancy, due to an increase in HCG, it is easy to cause a series of reactions such as dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, preference for acidic foods, or morning vomiting, which are collectively referred to as early pregnancy reactions If a woman has the above symptoms, it may indicate pregnancy. Generally, after 12 weeks of pregnancy, as the level of HCG in the body decreases, the symptoms may naturally disappear.
