Patient's question:
A woman is 26 years old this year. My period has been delayed for two days and hasn't arrived yet. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend before, and I'm feeling very upset about the possibility of being pregnant. I would like to know how long after conception can a pregnancy test kit detect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, pregnancy tests can be taken 7-10 days after intercourse, and the later it is, the more accurate the result. In addition, ultrasound can be used for a thorough examination to predict pregnancy. Ultrasound is performed one week after menstruation, and it is the most accurate and reliable method for confirming early pregnancy. Usually, a urine pregnancy test can be done one month after conception. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity.
