How many days after the menstrual period is delayed can I draw blood for pregnancy test?

Pregnancy is what women care about most, especially married women who all hope that they can have a healthy pregnancy. Menstruation is an important reference standard for determining whether women are pregnant, because menstruation will stop after pregnancy. Therefore, many women use the timing of menstruation to determine whether they are pregnant. For example, how many days after the menstruation is delayed can a blood test be done for pregnancy? What should we pay attention to?

There are two ways to confirm whether you are pregnant. One is to test the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in urine using an early pregnancy test strip to test urine. This can only be detected when the menstruation is delayed for more than one week. Second, go to the hospital to have a blood test for HCG about ten days after having sex. If this indicator is much greater than 10, it can be confirmed that you are pregnant.

Note:

1. Keep a happy spirit, avoid mental stimulation and mood swings. Some people may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast pain, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability or depression during menstruation. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.
