How many days of delayed menstruation can indicate pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If you were supposed to come but didn't, and it's been over 7-10 days, you should consider pregnancy. It's recommended to use early pregnancy test strips. Don't base it on the time of intercourse; it's usually calculated from the first day of your last period. If the test shows two red lines, it indicates a positive result, meaning there's a possibility of pregnancy. However, you can also have a blood hCG test at the hospital 7 days after intercourse. If the test is negative or inconclusive, you'll need to retest after another 7 days. Morning urine is the best for testing.
