Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, and I got married to my husband not long ago. I have always wanted a child. Recently, I have had a 33-day menstrual cycle, and I started to think I might be pregnant, which made me very happy. However, when I carefully checked with a pregnancy test, it came back negative. I am very confused and would like to ask a doctor for advice. I am currently 33 days without a period, and a breast-feeding pregnancy test also came back negative. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, when menstruation is relatively regular, the menstrual cycle typically falls within the range of 28-30 days. A delay or advancement of one week is considered a normal phenomenon. Therefore, if the menstrual interval is 33 days apart and it hasn't arrived again, it is still within the normal range. It is temporarily necessary to pay close attention and observe carefully. If it appears again with a delay of less than one week but no pregnancy is confirmed after a thorough examination, it may indicate menstrual irregularity, and medication can be administered for regulation treatment.
