pregnancy test

A pregnancy check is a method of confirming whether a woman is pregnant. Commonly used pregnancy tests include sputum test, latex agglutination inhibition test, and monoclonal antibody enzyme-labeled chorionic gonadotropin test. After 7 weeks of gestation, the obstetrician can confirm the pregnancy after examination. After 6 weeks of gestation, an immunological examination with the urine of a pregnant woman can also confirm pregnancy. Because the menstruation has stopped, even if it stops before the above time, pregnancy diagnosis cannot be made. The 7 weeks and 6 weeks mentioned here refer to the calculation from the 7th day of the last menstrual date.
