Can a pregnancy test be taken if menstruation is delayed for seven days?

Patient's question:

A 34-year-old woman's mental state has not been very good recently, and she doesn't know why. Please ask: Can pregnancy be detected if menstruation is delayed by seven days?

Doctor's answer:

From your description, a delay of seven days in menstruation is generally detectable, and it can also be tested 10 days after intercourse. It is better to take morning urine for more accurate results. If you still feel uneasy, you can also have blood drawn for an hCG test at the hospital. Generally speaking, if your menstrual cycle is regular and there is a delay in menstruation, the likelihood of conception increases significantly. Do not have any psychological pressure and maintain a cheerful mood. During this period, pay attention to getting more rest, and your diet should also be light, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This is beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
