Patient's question:
Currently, in general situations: Hello, I still don't quite understand. If I got pregnant on October 2nd, it would be almost 50 days now. I haven't experienced any early pregnancy symptoms, such as slight breast tenderness, loss of appetite, or vomiting. And yesterday, when I used a pregnancy test kit, the result was negative. Why would the doctor still recommend going to the hospital to check for pregnancy?Could the test kit's result be inaccurate? Are there other more effective methods for early pregnancy detection at the hospital?
Also, it's said that if you're pregnant, you won't get your period. So, if I had intercourse on October 2nd,
Doctor's answer:
If the menstrual cycle lasts more than three days, early pregnancy test strips can be used to detect whether pregnancy has occurred. It is generally more accurate one week after the menstrual cycle, when the HCG level rises significantly. If pregnant, a positive result may appear. When a weak positive result is observed, it should also be noted that pregnancy is possible. It is recommended to check blood HCG 10 days after sexual activity to confirm early pregnancy diagnosis, which is currently the earliest and most accurate method.
