Can a hospital detect pregnancy after one month?

Patient's question:

I have had my period for more than seven days. My menstrual cycle is usually very regular. I also had sex with my husband during my ovulation period. In my situation, if I go to the hospital for a check-up, can they detect pregnancy? My friend told me that since the time is too short, it's best to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Taking the pulse can determine if I'm pregnant. If I go to the gynecology department for an ultrasound, can it detect an ectopic pregnancy? Urgent.

Doctor's answer:

Gynecology and Obstetrics, now pregnant, it is important to rest, avoid fatigue and sexual intercourse, and maintain a nutritious diet.
