Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask that my period arrived on December 28, 2017. I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on the 7th and then got married. However, my period came on January 29. On January 7, I took birth control pills, and my period skipped a day, so I went to the hospital and they prescribed me progesterone capsules. My period only arrived on January 29. I met my current husband on February 5, and now my period arrived on February 27. But on March 27, my period didn't come. I want to ask if this baby has anything to do with my ex-boyfriend. I don't need to do a paternity test, but I'm very worried every day. However, I haven't seen my ex-boyfriend since we got married on January 7. Is this the ultrasound report from when I got pregnant? Can you help me make a good guess? Thank you.I had a cesarean section surgery on November 28, 2018. I heard that if I got pregnant, it would be calculated from the last period as the due date, which would be February 27, 2018, right? Or should it be calculated from the day I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on January 7, 2018? Does it matter? But I calculated, and from February 27, 2018, to November 28, 2018, it's 274 days in total? How many days does it take to get pregnant in total?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you had sex with your ex-boyfriend after taking birth control pills. You got married on the 17th day after having sex, and your period came on the 29th day of the second month. You met your current husband on August 5th, and your period came again on the 27th of August. You didn't have your period on February 27th, and you had a cesarean delivery on December 28th.My advice is to consider that your current situation has nothing to do with your ex-boyfriend. A pregnancy is generally 270 days, but as long as the child is mature, it won't necessarily be exactly that number of days. It's perfectly normal for your child to have been pregnant for 274 days.
