Is it accurate to use a test strip to check if your period is delayed by one week?

Patient's question:

I have a 42-day cycle. If I'm pregnant, is it usually detectable around day 50? Calculating it, the baby would be almost two months old?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it is still recommended to use a pregnancy test one week after a normal menstrual delay for accurate results. Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. The occurrence of female infertility not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a B examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
