How many days after menstruation do you need to use a test strip to know if you are pregnant?

Patient's question:

My period was delayed by 4 days, and the test strip showed negative, meaning I'm not pregnant. Is the result reliable? My period is usually very regular. What could be the reason for the sudden delay? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello! It is normal for menstruation to be a few days early or late. It could also be a sign of pregnancy. However, if pregnancy is ruled out and the condition persists for a long time, it may indicate an issue with the ovaries, and the ovaries may need to be nourished. Generally, doctors recommend that women with risk signs of prenatal examinations pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
