How long does it take to take a pulse to detect pregnancy?

According to TCM, pregnancy can be confirmed by taking a pulse, but early pregnancy diagnosis is not particularly accurate and requires an experienced practitioner to make a good diagnosis. In women with regular menstrual cycles, a pulse showing a slippery pulse around 40-50 days after menopause is a pulse of pregnancy and should only be used for reference. It is best to perform a pregnancy test. The pulse of pregnancy is the so-called “happy pulse”, as the pregnant woman’s body has to concentrate qi and blood to nourish the fetus, so it can show a slippery pulse. It is best to combine clinical symptoms and diet with western diagnostic methods such as progesterone and chorionic gonadotropin levels, or ultrasound testing, to ensure the accuracy of the results. The Chinese medicine pulse taking may be relatively accurate for those who have been pregnant for a longer period of time. With the development of medical technology nowadays, early pregnancy test paper can be used to confirm pregnancy to a certain extent and the test is relatively convenient and can be done by yourself. However, it is still recommended that patients undergo ultrasound examination around 40 days after menopause to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
