When is it best to do a pregnancy test?

Patient's question:

This period I feel my body doesn't urinate often, my breasts are swollen, and my period hasn't come. I want to understand when is the best time to do an early pregnancy test?

Doctor's answer:

The estimated cycle for early pregnancy tests usually requires at least 6 weeks from the last menstrual period to carefully check the gestational sac. A follow-up ultrasound is recommended 7 days later. It is also possible that early pregnancy may not be visible, but it is important to be aware that ectopic pregnancy may not be visible within the uterus. Early pregnancy tests can only be seen after 8-10 weeks. This check is the best. Ultrasound is necessary during pregnancy. However, the number of ultrasounds during pregnancy should not be less than 3 times.
