Patient's question:
Regular menstruation is delayed by about half a month, is it possible to get pregnant? Is hCG test accurate?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, having intercourse on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle and later can lead to pregnancy. For women with regular menstrual cycles, if the period is delayed by more than one week, it is likely that pregnancy has occurred. Diagnosing early pregnancy is generally an accurate method by carefully checking blood hCG levels and B-hCG. During the early stages of pregnancy, it is important not to be lax and to pay attention, as this is beneficial for both the mother and child's health. However, these symptoms alone are not reliable for confirmation. Blood tests can generally confirm pregnancy, but the earliest and most accurate test is checking hCG levels after sexual intercourse 10 days prior. It is important to rely on scientific methods.
