Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Menstruation on October 24, and it has not come yet. Nausea, vomiting sour water. Checked at the hospital, HCG negative. Question: How many weeks of pregnancy can a urine test detect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that if your test result is negative, you can collect morning urine for testing 48 hours later. HCG generally appears in the urine several days after the fertilized egg implants, and it needs to reach a certain amount to be detectable. Therefore, for women with regular menstrual cycles, HCG may not be detectable in the urine until after the menstrual period is delayed. It is recommended that you have your blood HCG tested at the hospital. In the fifth week of pregnancy, which is one week after the missed period, it can be detected using ultrasound.
