Irregular menstruation, how many days can a pregnancy test detect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation, I took Chinese medicine to regulate my period in March and April. My period came normally after a 5-day delay. In May, I didn't take any medicine, and my period has still not arrived. My period arrived on April 23rd, and the earliest it could be expected in May is around May 28th. There was sexual intercourse in May, and I used a pregnancy test on June 1st, which was negative.

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, a delay of 7-10 days in menstruation can be detected using early pregnancy tests. To confirm pregnancy, it is still recommended to visit a hospital for a blood test, as pregnancy can usually be detected about 10 days after intercourse.
