Patient's question:
I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on May 20th, and I got my period on May 31st. I started dating my current boyfriend in June. On June 29th, I found out I was pregnant with hCG at 21 and progesterone at 41.430. Is it possible for this child to have been conceived in May?Doctor's answer:
!The menopausal date of women is generally 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the ovum is released from the ovary, it can survive for 1-2 days in the fallopian tube, waiting for fertilization; male sperm can maintain fertilization ability in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse in the days before and after ovulation increases the likelihood of conception. For safety, the 5 days before ovulation, the 4 days after ovulation, and ovulation day itself are collectively referred to as the fertile window. Sexual intercourse during the fertile window increases the likelihood of conception. Therefore, since you had your period on May 31st and tested positive for hCG at 21 and progesterone at 41.430 on June 29th, this child was conceived in June and should be your current boyfriend's. Congratulations on your pregnancy! The above advice is for the question "I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on May 20th," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
