Patient's question:
I'm not sure if I'm pregnant, so I went to the hospital a few days ago for a thorough check-up. It's been two days already. How long does it take to get the result of a pregnancy test?Doctor's answer:
The method for carefully checking pregnancy is usually to measure the HCG content in the blood, and then perform an ultrasound examination. If an abdominal ultrasound is performed, the results will typically be available immediately to determine if pregnancy is present. If blood is tested, the results will be available by the next day at the latest. Additionally, you can also purchase pregnancy test strips at a pharmacy yourself. Generally, pregnancy can be detected around 30 days after conception.
