If a young and healthy woman's menstrual cycle is normal every month, then if her menstrual cycle is suddenly delayed for one month, it is mostly caused by pregnancy. Some female friends want to know how long it takes to detect pregnancy under normal circumstances. So today, let's take a look at how many days of menstrual delay can detect pregnancy in general?
1. In general, pregnancy can only be detected after a delay of five to seven days in menstruation, because if the time is too short, using a pregnancy test stick will result in a very heavy horizontal bar, and a faint horizontal bar that cannot be seen clearly whether it is real or not, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
2. If menstruation is delayed for less than a week, then use a pregnancy test stick to test. If you are really pregnant, you will see two red horizontal bars. After testing with a pregnancy test stick, if it is confirmed that you are pregnant, you should also go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination because ultrasound can rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
3. The most accurate way to calculate the duration of pregnancy is to start counting from the end of the last menstrual period and count it as one month until the start of menstruation.
If the menstrual cycle is delayed for more than a week but the test result is not pregnancy, then it is necessary to go to the hospital for further examination to see if there is an endocrine disorder or other gynecological diseases. After finding the cause, it is necessary to treat it properly.
