The delayed menstrual period of 20 days to detect pregnancy is related to the delayed ovulation of women, abnormal embryonic development, etc. If it is caused by the delayed ovulation, it is considered normal; if it is caused by abnormal embryonic development, it is abnormal.
1. Delayed ovulation: If a woman has delayed ovulation due to stress or polycystic ovary syndrome, her pregnancy will be shorter than the time of menopause, which is normal, and the week of pregnancy and the expected date of delivery should be estimated according to the ultrasound results in early pregnancy.
2. Abnormal embryo development: If the embryo development is abnormal or the pregnancy is suspected to be ectopic pregnancy, due to the ectopic pregnancy caused by insufficient nutritional supply of fertilized eggs or the quality of the embryo itself will lead to the body’s secretion of the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level is low, so it’s not easy to detect pregnancy, and at the same time, these two cases are also abnormal.
For women who have delayed their menstrual period for 20 days before detecting pregnancy, it is recommended that they go to the gynecology department of a regular hospital to improve the progesterone, gynecological ultrasound and other related examinations to assess whether this is a normal intrauterine pregnancy, and if there is any abnormality, it is necessary to be actively treated under the guidance of the doctor.
