Can I test for pregnancy after my period is delayed for 6 days?

Nowadays, many women have encountered some problems in pregnancy. First of all, with regard to pregnancy testing, many women do not know when to test for pregnancy due to irregular menstruation. So let's find out together, can a woman's pregnancy be detected if her menstruation is delayed for 6 days?

Can pregnancy be detected in 6 days?

Embryo implantation begins around the 6th to 8th day after sperm and egg fertilization and ends on the 11th to 12th day. HCG is secreted by the embryo only after embryo implantation, so the earliest time to test whether you are pregnant is after 12 days. If you use the test strip 6 days after having sex, the result will not be very accurate. Testing too early may result in a false negative test result.

Urine pregnancy test: This test can diagnose early pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions with a reliability of 95%. At present, a "pregnancy test paper" can determine whether you are pregnant 5 days after your period is due. About 20 days after insemination (i.e. 35 days after menstruation), the urine of the pregnant woman begins to contain "hCG" produced by the embryo, which then gradually increases and reaches its peak at 60 days of pregnancy.

Through the microbial pregnancy test, the presence of this hormone in the urine can be measured to achieve the purpose of diagnosing pregnancy. The urine for testing should be collected in the morning, because the urine at this time is more concentrated, contains more growth hormone, and the test results are more accurate.

After the introduction of the above content, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the issue of "pregnancy can be detected 6 days after intercourse". In fact, if it is 6 days after intercourse, it cannot be detected. Generally, it must wait until the menstrual period stops and it will be detected after 7 days. If you test by yourself, you can use a pregnancy test strip to test, and then go to the hospital to confirm.
