Patient's question:
A woman is 31 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 many days after pregnancy can it be detected?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, whether it is HCG in the blood or HCG in the urine, it usually takes about ten days. This is because the time for the sperm and egg to combine and implant is about eight days, but the HCG concentration at this time is relatively low. It reaches its peak two days later, and these values are more accurate. Therefore, it can be detected around the 10th day. I suggest you not to be impatient and to be patient while waiting for the arrival of your little baby. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase regular exercise to enhance their immunity.
