Patient's question:
I would like to ask about early pregnancy test strips. How many days can they be used? Can they detect pregnancy at 20 days? Additionally, my ureaplasma urealyticum test was positive, but it has now turned negative. I have been treated for it for half a month. Is it suitable to get pregnant? What is the best time to go to the hospital for a pregnancy test to be most accurate? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, if you have a missed period for about 40 days, it's recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to rule out ectopic pregnancy. The best time is around 50 days after the missed period for an ultrasound, as this is when a normal development can be observed, allowing the embryonic bud and primitive heart tube to be seen.An ultrasound will not affect the fetus, so you can rest assured. It's sufficient to have one check-up in the first three months of pregnancy. Usually, if there are no discomforts around 40 days after the missed period, you can wait until around 50 days and then go to the hospital for a check-up.
I hope this helps, and wish you health and happiness.
