Can you test if you are pregnant a few days after having sex?

Patient's question:

After a few days, you can use a pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Go to the pharmacy to buy pregnancy tests, there are tests that can detect pregnancy 7 days after conception, and there are tests that can detect pregnancy 30 days after conception. Starting from the day of intercourse, 48 hours later is the first day, which means from the day you had sex, on the 9th or 10th day, you can use a 7-day test to find out if you are pregnant. But the results may vary. It's still safer to have a urine test at the hospital around the 30th day.
The implantation of the fertilized egg (which means the fertilized egg settles in the uterus) is the sign of pregnancy. Because sperm meets the egg to form a fertilized egg, and then the fertilized egg swims into the uterus, this process takes about 48-72 hours. So, if you are pregnant, you should count the first day of pregnancy 2 or 3 days after intercourse. After the fertilized egg implants, it usually takes about 7 days to detect pregnancy with a 7-day test.
For more accuracy, the longer the time, the more reliable it is! By the 30th day of pregnancy, there should be no major issues. Pregnancy tests can be accurately detected at hospitals.
