Patient's question:
When is the general time for pregnancy detection? I have delayed my period by 3 days, can I take the test?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the menstrual period is less than seven days delayed, an early pregnancy test paper or blood hCG test can be used to verify pregnancy. For a delay of more than 40 days, an ultrasound test is needed to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy, and a Doppler test is required to check for fetal cardiovascular activity and assess fetal viability. In the early stages of pregnancy, it is important to closely monitor progesterone and hCG levels. If there are any issues, treatment to prevent miscarriage should be administered to avoid symptoms of threatened miscarriage.
