Can a 16-day test paper detect pregnancy?

In general, pregnancy tests can be used to detect pregnancy about 14 days after cohabitation, but this is not absolute.

Although it is usually easy to conceive after ovulation, there may be differences in the specific time of conception. If conception is late, 16 days may not be accurate. Different brands and quality test strips may vary in sensitivity and accuracy. Better quality test strips may detect pregnancy earlier and more accurately. Everyone's physical condition varies, and the speed at which hormone levels change in the body varies. Some people may be able to detect it clearly after 16 days of cohabitation, while others need longer.

If you want to get more reliable results, consider going to the hospital for blood testing at an appropriate time. The detection of chorionic gonadotropin levels in the blood is more sensitive and accurate. At the same time, if the menstrual delay is longer and the test results are not clear, you should also seek medical advice.
