Hello,
Pregnancy is detectable only after you start secreting human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and this happens once the fertilized egg has implanted into the uterus walls.
There are two types of pregnancy tests:
1)Blood test
If you are pregnant, the blood test results positive within 3-4 days after implantation, or 9-10 days after fertilization and ovulation. You can take the test within 7 to 12 days of having unprotected sex.
2)Urine Test
Most women test positive for pregnancy 13.5 days after ovulation or at the time they expect their monthly periods.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Dr.Mersi
