No, a urine dipstick is not designed to detect pregnancy. It typically tests for substances like protein, glucose, or blood in the urine. To detect pregnancy, a specific urine pregnancy test is needed, which measures the presence of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) produced during pregnancy.

How many weeks does it take to know that your pregnant?

This will generally depend on the test that is used to detect a pregnancy. Blood tests are more accurate in that they can detect a pregnancy earlier. As soon as two weeks after a missed period, blood tests can detect levels of Hcg (the hormone pregnant females produce). Urine pregnancy tests generally do not detect a pregnancy before the 6th week because sometimes it takes that long for Hcg levels to rise to the point where a urine test will be sensitive enough to detect it.
