Patient's question:
A 24-year-old woman, I have been married to my husband for six months, and we have been trying to conceive. These past few days, my period should have arrived, but it hasn't. I'm wondering if I might be pregnant. How long does it usually take to find out if you're pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, you can use a pregnancy test strip to check if you are pregnant about ten days after sexual intercourse. If it is negative, it does not rule out pregnancy, and if your period does not arrive normally, you need to observe it carefully. Two weeks after sexual intercourse, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test, which has a higher accuracy rate. If you choose to have a baby, both parties should maintain a relaxed mood, maintain a regular diet and lifestyle, quit smoking and drinking, avoid medication, stay away from pets and radiation.
