Can pregnancy be detected?

Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

You cannot test for pregnancy yet. Suggestions:
1. Maintain a positive mood, as it may be caused by excessive mental stress.
2. Do an early pregnancy test with a pregnancy test strip and blood HCG and progesterone tests within 5–10 days of a missed period to check if you are pregnant.
3. You can also have an ultrasound around 45–50 days into the pregnancy to observe the position of the gestational sac.
Breast tenderness at this time may also be due to premenstrual syndrome, but it cannot be ruled out that you may be pregnant. Wait a little longer. During this period, take care of your body, avoid taking medication indiscriminately, and eat more nutritious foods.
