Patient's question:
A very faint positive could mean I'm not pregnant. My period hasn't come this month, and it's been about 20 days since I had sex. I took a pregnancy test and it showed a weak positive. But besides some breast tenderness, I haven't had any other symptoms. I've also been feeling very hungry and craving food. I want to ask if I might be pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If you are eager to know if you are pregnant, then go to the hospital to have blood drawn for an HCG test, as this is the most accurate and sensitive method. Alternatively, you can wait a few more days, because even if you know you are pregnant, it is not the best time to take action. The best time for termination is generally between 40-45 days of pregnancy. If you don't want a child for the time being, it's still a good idea to take effective contraceptive measures in the future.
