Patient's question:
Hello:Why am I 46 days pregnant but have no symptoms? I took a test, and the red line is very faint, just barely visible. Do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up?
Thank you!!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, HCG levels can be detected in the blood about 10 days after conception, and pregnancy can be detected with a pregnancy test about two weeks after conception. Around 30 days after conception, a gestational sac can be seen with ultrasound. In your case, is it 46 days since your last period or 46 days since you became pregnant? If it has been 46 days since your last period and you still cannot detect pregnancy, it is generally possible to rule out pregnancy, which may be due to delayed menstruation. You can go to the hospital for a check-up to find out the reason for the delayed menstruation and receive timely symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health!
