Patient's question:
I have always had a 27-day menstrual cycle and it has never been delayed. However, this time it was delayed by three to four days. Will a pregnancy test detect two red lines at the beginning of my period—one dark and one light?Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, it's important to observe your menstrual cycle. If your period doesn't arrive when expected and you haven't had it for 7-10 days, you should consider pregnancy. It's recommended to use early pregnancy test strips. Clinically, the count usually starts from the first day of your last menstrual period. If the pregnancy test strips show two red lines, it indicates a positive result, meaning there is a possibility of pregnancy. Seven days after intercourse, you can also go to the hospital for a blood HCG test, which is relatively accurate.
