Patient's question:
How long after pregnancy can a pregnancy test be used? Looking forward to your reply, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, because pregnancy does not occur immediately after cohabitation; it takes about 3 days for sperm to combine with an egg, which is when a new life begins. Then, about 7 days after the sperm and egg combine, you can go to the hospital to test blood HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) for a very accurate pregnancy test. Therefore, it is recommended to have a blood HCG test around the 10th day after cohabitation to get a clear answer. Alternatively, you can use pregnancy test strips. I hope my answer helps you, and wish you a happy life.
