Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is usually quite irregular; sometimes it's delayed, and other times it comes early. Last week, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. Can a woman with an irregular menstrual cycle get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Women may have irregular periods, which can affect pregnancy but it's not certain. So, if you had sexual intercourse without taking contraceptive measures during that period, there is still a possibility of getting pregnant. To confirm pregnancy, it's more accurate to take a test. A delay or advancement of the menstrual cycle within seven days can still be considered normal due to menstrual irregularities. It's recommended to visit a hospital to check the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
