Patient's question:
A good friend of mine is eighteen years old this year. In mid-last month, she had contact with her boyfriend, and it was her first time. Because she heard the chance of pregnancy during the first time is not high, and she had no experience, so she didn't take any measures. But her period this month is delayed by more than ten days and hasn't arrived yet. Could it be possible that she is pregnant? Is it that lucky? Can a pregnancy test be used now? Also, how is the day of pregnancy actually calculated? I hope the doctor can reply quickly. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The primary symptom of pregnancy is a missed period; early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and frequent urination typically appear around 6 weeks of pregnancy. It is recommended to undergo an early pregnancy test if your menstrual period is delayed by more than one week. During early pregnancy, many pregnancy-related symptoms may occur, such as nausea, vomiting, and physical discomfort. However, if there is bleeding or abdominal pain during this period, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. It is also essential to stay relaxed, maintain a positive mood, and follow a balanced diet.
