Patient's question:
I had sex on November 20th, can I test for pregnancy with a test strip now?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you want to test for pregnancy, it will take at least ten days. After you have intercourse, it takes about six days for your fertilized egg to implant in the endometrium and start secreting early pregnancy hormones. For the early pregnancy hormones in the blood to rise to a certain level, it also takes three to four days. It is recommended that if you test the early pregnancy hormones in the blood, it is approximately ten days after intercourse. If you use a test strip, it will take about thirteen or fourteen days. There is nothing else.
