How long does it take to test for pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Please ask if I had sex with my husband on December 26th. Using a regular early pregnancy test (the kind that costs one yuan per strip), how long does it take to determine if I am pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the ovulation date for women is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. After conception, blood HCG can be detected for pregnancy 3 to 10 days after intercourse. You can also wait 10 to 14 days after a missed period to test, as it can also be detected then. After discovering pregnancy, prenatal examinations should be conducted.
