Rezumat: Although pregnancy can be detected shortly after conception, one may not suspect the state of pregnancy and questions could arise only subsequently, due to menstruation absence. The pregnancy test identifies the chorionic gonadotropin in the blood or urine, which is a synthesized hormone during pregnancy. A first pregnancy test can be undertaken about one week after the menstruation delay and a second test can follow a week later. Double testing ensures a higher degree of accuracy Cuvinte cheie: pregnancy, absence of menstruation.
