Patient's question:
How long after cohabitation can a pregnancy test be used to detect?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy generally requires normal sexual intercourse with ejaculation during the ovulation period to have the possibility of conception. Usually, pregnancy can be detected with a pregnancy test kit about seven days after sexual intercourse. If you are still not sure, you can take a blood test about ten days after sexual intercourse to check if you are pregnant. If your period is delayed by more than a week, a pregnancy test through a medical examination will be more accurate. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology and obstetrics department of a local regular hospital for an examination to confirm whether you are really pregnant.
