Patient's question:
A woman is 33 years old this year and has no symptoms, just that her menstrual period has been delayed for some days and hasn't arrived yet, so she doesn't know if she is pregnant. She wants to know how long after feeling pregnant can she take a test?Doctor's answer:
After cohabitation, the re-appearance of pregnancy symptoms usually occurs around 2-3 weeks after the menstrual period. Some people may not feel pregnant at all. If pregnancy is suspected, an early pregnancy test can be considered about 2 weeks after cohabitation. If the menstrual period comes normally afterward, it proves that pregnancy did not occur. Lastly, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain regular sleep schedules, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity.
