Patient's question:
On September 3rd, I had an surgery. On October 4th, I got my first period. On November 3rd, I had sexual intercourse with withdrawal. Before the, my periods had always been quite regular, but this month, my period in November didn't come, and I became worried about getting pregnant again. In the morning, I used a test strip and got a positive result. Could it also be that because the time of intercourse was too short, it wasn't visible? I also had an MRI, and the doctor said my endometrium is currently 6 mm. The doctor told me to wait and said it would definitely not come this week. He said one side is menopausal, and the other ovary has luteinized. Is the chance of pregnancy high in my case? Is an endometrium of 6 mm too thin after an? Does it affect the chances of getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle is regular and you had your period on October 4th, then having intercourse on November 3rd would be during your safe period, making it unlikely to conceive. Based on your endometrial thickness, it's also unlikely that you are pregnant, and you haven't had your period for a short period of time. It's recommended to wait for a while, as an endometrial thickness of 6mm could be due to endocrine disorders caused by an abortion. If you are still concerned, you can visit the hospital for an ultrasound or blood hCG test, but it's better to wait for a short period of time before going for the check-up. However, the time difference shouldn't be too long.
