Pregnancy is usually confirmed with a Beta hCG blood test. Yes, it can detect pregnancy as early as 7 to 10 days after ovulation.

Question

Doctor, I have a query. We had intercourse during the fertile window, confirmed by follicular scan showing good egg quality and ovulation, but I still got my period this week. All my reports, including LH and blood tests, are normal with no signs of PCOS. Is there something that might be going wrong?
