Patient's question:
A 50-year-old woman doesn't know why she suddenly got sick and is feeling uncomfortable. Please ask: How many days after cohabitation can a pregnancy test be used to determine if she is pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Generally, pregnancy can be detected after a 5-day delay in menstruation. Now, it has been 53 days since the last period, and it's possible that you're not pregnant. If you still feel uneasy, you can check an ultrasound and blood hCG. Urine pregnancy test strips usually show high positive rates only after 35 days of missed periods. If you're in a hurry, you can try testing blood hCG, as it is more sensitive. Don't worry—what's meant to come will come. Quietly enjoy this process.
