      For those who are pregnant for the first time female , due to lack of pregnancy experience, a very confusing question appears in front of them. How many days can pregnancy be detected?

      How many days can pregnancy be detected? This problem really needs to be solved accurately. If the person involved doesn't even know when he is pregnant, isn't it a joke? Especially some people suffering from Gynecology disease , timely treatment of your own gynecological inflammation is a must.

      Whether you are pregnant or not is actually invisible to the naked eye. If your period does not come when it is due (of course you have to consider whether Irregular menstruation ? ), if it does not come for more than 7-10 days, you should consider pregnancy. However, premature inspection will cause errors and the inspection results will not be obtained. Generally, you can use early pregnancy test strips to detect pregnancy after 7 days of delayed menstruation. You can also do a blood HCG test 10 days after sexual intercourse to detect pregnancy.

      How many days can pregnancy be detected? We provide the following detection methods for reference by female friends.

      Test paper test: Generally, pregnancy can be detected one month after menopause, but sometimes it will be later for some women due to various factors. If the test paper test is negative, it is recommended to do a blood test. Experts remind: The correct test rate of early pregnancy test strips varies greatly, ranging from 50% to 98%, so you should not trust the test results of early pregnancy events. The working principle of the early pregnancy test paper pregnancy self-test is to detect the HCG value, which is the value of human chorionic gonadotropin. If you check it too early, it will be difficult to detect due to the small amount in the body. It will not become more obvious until 10 to 14 days. Pregnancy test strips can be used to test about 14 days after sexual intercourse, and pregnancy can be detected from urine. The best time to take a pregnancy test is sperm 18 days after egg encounter.

      It can be seen that under normal circumstances, testing is done one month or 7 to 10 days after menopause for more accurate results.

      When using early pregnancy test strips, you should pay attention to the following conditions:

      1. If the purchased pregnancy test paper is stored for too long (more than 1 year), or if the pregnancy test paper is damp, and is not stored at normal room temperature (should not be refrigerated), it may become invalid and result in false negative test results.

      2. If pregnancy has just begun, or if there is ectopic pregnancyEctopic pregnancy ), the HCG level in the body is generally low. The sample to be tested needs to stand for more than 3 minutes (usually only 1 minute), and it is necessary to carefully identify whether there is a weak positive
