Patient's question:
Within 7 days before menstruation, we had sex, took birth control pills, and menstruation is delayed by 14 days. On the 14th day, we had sex with a condom and tested the morning urine with a pregnancy test kit. One line is deep and the other is light. Am I pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The test shows a weak positive, but it doesn't necessarily mean you are pregnant. Just before your period is due, the hCG levels in your body may slightly rise, and a pregnancy test can also show a weak positive. You can go to the hospital to have your blood tested for hCG. An ultrasound examination can also be done to check the condition of the uterus. If the examination rules out pregnancy, then the irregular menstruation is likely caused by taking emergency contraception. You can wait a few more days to see if it improves.
