Patient's question:
Patient is female, 26 years old. I had my period on June 21, had sexual intercourse once on July 6 (just once). This morning, I used a test strip and got one line. Can the doctor confirm if I can be pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it takes two weeks after coitus for a woman to be able to detect pregnancy using a home pregnancy test. If you had intercourse on the 7th, the result of a home pregnancy test on the 16th should be inaccurate. It is recommended that you check blood hCG 10 days after intercourse, or use a home pregnancy test two weeks after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you. Finally, I wish you good health!
