Patient's question:
How can you know if you're pregnant when your period is irregular? I have my period delayed every month. Is there any way to find out if I'm pregnant?Doctor's answer:
First, it is possible to get pregnant even if you have irregular periods because you still have the function of menstruation. If your period is delayed by more than seven days, it is recommended that you can buy early pregnancy test strips from a pharmacy and perform self-testing. If the urine test shows two lines, it indicates pregnancy. If there is only one line, it is recommended to wait another week before testing again or go to the hospital for a blood test to measure hCG levels, which is the most accurate method. If the value is lower than the non-pregnant state, it proves that you are pregnant.
