Can you test for pregnancy after one week?

Patient's question:

Female, 27 years old, after getting pregnant, she felt uncomfortable, but this condition has not improved. She wants to go to the hospital for a systematic check-up. Can pregnancy be detected one week after conception?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it takes about ten days to conduct the test. You can go to the hospital for a blood test after ten days in the same room to check the levels of progesterone and HCG, and thus determine the pregnancy status. If you want to use a pregnancy test kit to test at home, you should wait at least until one week after your period is delayed. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
