Common "Early Pregnancy Detection" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Early Pregnancy Detection

The timely identification of early pregnancy stands as a pivotal moment for prospective parents. Modern advancements in medical science have enabled the pregnancy detection shortly after conception. Home pregnancy tests, designed to ascertain the presence of the hormone hCG in urine, yield precise results within approximately one week following a missed menstrual cycle. Furthermore, medical practitioners can employ blood tests to pinpoint pregnancy at an even earlier stage, typically within seven to 12 days post-conception. This early revelation facilitates the prompt initiation of prenatal care, ensuring the well-being of both the expectant mother and the developing embryo.
