How long does it take to know if you are pregnant

Patient's question:

My menstrual cycle is approximately 37 days long. My last period was on December 12th, and this month it should be around the 19th. I had sexual intercourse on the 5th and 7th. If I were pregnant, when would be the earliest I could find out? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello! If your menstrual cycle is regular, around 30 days, and you haven't had your period yet, then if you are pregnant, a self-administered pregnancy test should be able to detect it. If your menstrual cycle is irregular, it cannot be determined, and it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Wishing you good health!
The occurrence of gynecological examinations not only affects a patient's health but also leads to the emergence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological examination at the hospital to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
