How long into pregnancy can you test?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How long after pregnancy can it be detected?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you haven't had your period when you were supposed to and it's been more than 7-10 days, you should consider pregnancy. It's recommended to use early pregnancy test strips. Instead of calculating based on the time of intercourse, clinically it's usually calculated from the first day of your last period. If the test shows two red lines, it indicates a positive result, meaning there is a possibility of pregnancy. Morning urine is the best for testing.
For women who are considered advanced maternal age, if you want to conceive, it's best for both partners to have a chromosomal test to check for any abnormalities. If there are no abnormalities, you can proceed with conception. It's important to regularly undergo prenatal check-ups.
