Patient's question:
I have always wanted to have a child, but I haven't been pregnant for many years. I have always wanted to undergo in vitro fertilization. Three months ago, I noticed that my aunt got pregnant using an early pregnancy test. I was very upset about any problem. What should I check with this early pregnancy test?Doctor's answer:
A lifetime urine test (urine test strips for early pregnancy detection) is usually recommended to wait for about 2 weeks of delayed menstruation to make an accurate prediction. If you want to predict early how you might be pregnant, you can do a blood β-HCG test. Generally, the fertilized egg can be detected within about 7 days. Urine tests suggest waiting for about 2 weeks of delayed menstruation, while ultrasound examinations usually require about 3 weeks of delayed menstruation to confirm pregnancy. It should be noted that dietary habits should be paid attention to.
