Patient's question:
[Please arrive about 2 days in advance. It's the 13th of this month, and you haven't come yet. I want to ask the doctor if it's possible to be pregnant? When should I take a pregnancy test for accurate results? I have plans to get pregnant. Medical history and treatment effectiveness: No treatment has been sought. What kind of help do you expect: An explanation from the doctor]Doctor's answer:
The most direct sign of pregnancy is the delay in menstruation. If your period does not arrive on time, you can use a pregnancy test strip or a pregnancy test stick to check for pregnancy. A pregnancy test strip, also known as an HCG test strip, is the most commonly used and most convenient and practical method for pregnancy testing.HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone that is only secreted by women when they are pregnant. The level of human chorionic gonadotropin can usually be detected in the urine ten days after conception. However, if you test within the first ten days after conception, you may get a negative result, even though you are actually pregnant. When using a pregnancy test stick or test strip purchased from a pharmacy to check for pregnancy, it is best to use the first urine of the morning for testing, as this is when hormone levels are easiest to detect. If that is not possible, make sure the urine has been in the bladder for at least four hours before testing. Do not drink excessive amounts of water to increase urine volume, as this will dilute the hormone levels.
