Patient's question:
I've been married for two years, and recently we've decided to have a child. It wasn't long ago that my wife was in her ovulation period, and we didn't skip any sexual activity with her. My wife's period hasn't arrived yet, and it's been a week late. I'm about to go buy a pregnancy test to check, thinking it might be a win.What kind of help do I need: How long after pregnancy can it be detected?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, 10 days after cohabitation, pregnancy can be accurately determined using early pregnancy test strips or by having blood tests at a hospital. The most common pregnancy symptom is a missed period. If your menstrual cycle is usually regular and you had sexual intercourse without taking contraceptive measures, then when your period is delayed by 10 days, pregnancy should be suspected.
