Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle has always been regular, and my last period started on the 6th and 7th of last month. I had sexual intercourse during the period from the 18th to the 25th. However, during the intercourse, the male partner only inserted without ejaculation. On the 9th of this month, I tested with a pregnancy test using morning urine, and the result was negative. Coincidentally, I have had a cold and cough for the past two days, accompanied by fever. My period has been delayed by one week. I took over-the-counter cold medicine, and my condition has improved slightly. I also drank a herbal tea two days ago.What I need help with: Can I really be pregnant? What are the symptoms of pregnancy? If I am not pregnant, why is my period still not coming?

If it's not pregnancy, you can take motherwort to promote the menstrual cycle to come sooner.
