How many days of pregnancy can you detect early pregnancy symptoms

Some young couples are still very inexperienced when it comes to pregnancy. Today, let’s learn together how many days it takes to detect pregnancy and what the early symptoms of pregnancy are.

Generally speaking, you can test yourself 7-10 days after sex. You can use early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks to test morning urine for pregnancy. The longer the time after sex, the more accurate it is. In short, you can test whether you are pregnant one week at the earliest and about 3 weeks at the latest after sex. Generally speaking, in the early stages of pregnancy, women will experience a series of early pregnancy reactions such as dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, and breast swelling. Generally, they become more obvious 10-14 days after pregnancy and disappear on their own after three months. Therefore, if a woman has the above symptoms, she can use early pregnancy test strips and pregnancy test sticks to test for pregnancy. However, there are still some women who may not feel obvious in the initial stage or feel very similar to before menstruation and mistakenly think that menstruation is coming soon.

Generally speaking, in the early stages of pregnancy, women will experience a series of early pregnancy reactions such as dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, and breast swelling. These symptoms usually become more obvious 10-14 days after pregnancy and disappear on their own after three months. Therefore, if women experience the above symptoms, they can use early pregnancy test strips and pregnancy test sticks to test for pregnancy.

1. Amenorrhea. Healthy women of childbearing age and with a history of sexual life usually have regular menstrual cycles. If their menstrual periods are overdue, they should consider whether they are pregnant. If their periods are overdue for more than 10 days, they should be highly suspected of pregnancy.

2. Early pregnancy reaction. Symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, lack of appetite, aversion to greasy food, nausea, and vomiting in the morning appear around 6 weeks after menstruation. These are called early pregnancy reactions. Some pregnant women may also have mood changes. Most of them disappear on their own around 12 weeks after menstruation.

3. Frequent urination. This is caused by the forward-tilted and enlarged uterus pressing on the bladder in the pelvic cavity. When the uterus enlarges beyond the pelvic cavity, the symptom of frequent urination disappears naturally.

4. Breast changes. Breast pain. Examination shows that the breast volume gradually increases, veins are clearly visible, the nipple is enlarged, the nipple and areola are darkened, and sebaceous glands around the areola proliferate and dark brown nodules appear. The milk of lactating women decreases significantly after pregnancy.

5. The vaginal mucosa and the vaginal part of the cervix are purple-blue due to congestion. At 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, the isthmus of the uterus is extremely soft during bimanual examination, and it feels as if the cervix and the uterine body are not connected. The uterus gradually becomes larger and softer, and becomes spherical. At 8 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is twice as large as that of the non-pregnant state, and at 12 weeks of pregnancy, it is three times as large as that of the non-pregnant state. The fundus of the uterus extends beyond the pelvic cavity and can be touched above the pubic symphysis.

6. Some pregnant women experience increased estrogen levels, such as spider nevi, liver palms, skin pigmentation (face, abdominal white line, areola, etc.). Some pregnant women experience uterine contraction pain or discomfort without uterine bleeding, abdominal distension, constipation and other discomforts.

Best time to test for pregnancy

1. Early pregnancy test detection time

Early pregnancy test strips can generally detect pregnancy two weeks after intercourse, and the urine tested is preferably morning urine. The test will be more accurate if the menstruation is delayed for 5-10 days. Use early pregnancy test strips to check whether you are pregnant. If the test strip shows two red lines, it means you are pregnant, otherwise you are not pregnant.

2. Ultrasound examination time

The time for B-ultrasound detection of early pregnancy is generally about one week after the menstruation is delayed. You can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination to see if you are pregnant. If you can see a pregnancy halo under the B-ultrasound, it means you are pregnant. The main purpose of B-ultrasound examination in early pregnancy is to confirm intrauterine pregnancy, exclude ectopic pregnancy and trophoblastic disease, estimate gestational age, and exclude pelvic masses or uterine abnormalities. Generally, a gestational sac can be seen in the uterine cavity 35 days after the menstruation stops; at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the embryo and primitive heart tube pulsation can be seen.
