Patient's question:
During the month of a natural miscarriage, I had sexual intercourse twice. I used a menopause test kit and found that the two times I had sex were ovulation days. It has been about 12 days now. Recently, I've been feeling some lower back pain, similar to the last time I was pregnant. The day before yesterday, I also had some lower abdominal discomfort. Am I pregnant again, or could it be another condition?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, if you had intercourse without using contraception, it cannot be completely ruled out that you might become pregnant again. Early pregnancy test strips can detect pregnancy around 35 days after your period. However, it is necessary to wait at least 14 days after intercourse to take the test for accuracy. For safety, you can collect morning urine and use an early pregnancy test strip to check. Intercourse too soon after a miscarriage can easily lead to reproductive system infections and incomplete uterine recovery.
