Pregnancy test can be done immediately after menstrual delay. It can be done at home by taking tests from the pharmacy and measuring your Bhcg level in the blood. A double line in your urine test or a positive blood test does not mean that you are 100% pregnant. A positive test can also be seen in biochemical pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy or early week miscarriage. The definitive diagnosis of pregnancy is made by monitoring the baby's heartbeat on ultrasound. The test should be done if your expected period is late. If it is done before, it may not give accurate results, especially the urine test may be negative even though you are pregnant. Your period is late and you took a urine test you bought from the pharmacy and it came out positive. Following that, I suggest you do a blood test at the nearest health center. If you get a positive value, you need to consult a gynecologist. It is not healthy to say anything about how many months old you are based on your blood test (BHCG) value. Pregnancy week is calculated based on the last menstrual period. Therefore, if you are planning pregnancy, I recommend that you note your menstrual periods. There are many phone applications made for this. In addition, when the fetus becomes visible in the 5-6th week of your pregnancy, the exact week is determined according to the measurements made on ultrasound. If necessary, your last menstrual period can be corrected by your doctor. Especially in case of late fertilization, the last menstrual period may change and should be corrected and the baby's week should be adjusted accordingly in subsequent follow-ups. The last menstrual date should also be determined in the same way for women with irregular menstrual cycles. It is important to determine the last menstrual date in the early weeks. That's why your physicians will ask you about this date first during ultrasound. Because the development of the baby is monitored according to this date. For example, in the following weeks of pregnancy, a pregnant woman who did not know the date of her last menstrual period, as a result of the evaluation of the baby's development, was found to be 32 weeks pregnant. However, if the pregnant woman does not know the date of her last menstrual period or has not determined it in the first weeks and the baby is actually 35 weeks old, there is a developmental delay, or conversely, if it is 27 weeks old, it may have grown faster than expected.
