The most concerning issue for women of childbearing age who have not taken contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse is pregnancy. So when menstrual lag occurs, the first thing that comes to mind is that you may be pregnant. And through some detection methods, more accurate results can be obtained. So, how many days of delayed menstruation can pregnancy be detected?
1. If using a pregnancy test stick or early pregnancy test strip to test pregnancy, it is recommended to conduct the self testing around 10 days after menstruation. Because at this time, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body will reach a certain level, and testing can only make the results more accurate.
2. If you go to the hospital for a urine or blood test, such as a blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for this test 7 days after sexual intercourse. This examination method can also accurately determine whether or not the result is pregnant.
3. However, when using pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks for self testing, there may sometimes be false positives. This mainly depends on whether the operation is standardized, whether the collected urine is qualified, and whether the woman has taken medication recently.
These many factors can affect the test results, so when doing self testing, it is necessary to eliminate these interference items, carefully read the instructions for use, and conduct testing according to the prescribed time and testing requirements in order to obtain more accurate test results.
