Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Hello doctorI had my period on December 1st and it ended on the 8th. Then on the 13th, I used an ovulation test strip and it showed two red lines. After that, we had intercourse. We had sex every other day from ovulation to the end of the cycle.
Could you please tell me, if this is the case, can I use a pregnancy test strip today, the 25th? //?/
If it's still too early, then when should I test?
Should I wait until my period doesn't come before testing?
??
Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, a home pregnancy test can provide relatively certain results around 20 days. By the time you are two months pregnant, it will be very clear whether you are pregnant. There are also many early pregnancy symptoms, such as breast tenderness and pain, a string-like texture when touching the lower part of the breast, and a noticeable increase in breast size. This pain may persist into the later stages of pregnancy. Most people experience nausea, vomiting, and a loss of appetite. For blood tests, it takes at least 30 days to detect pregnancy.
