What should I do if I get pregnant again while breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 22 years old, and the baby is five and a half months old. My period is delayed this month, and it is the fifth day today. On the 12th, 13th, and 14th of this month, I had sex with my husband three times without a condom. I am worried that I might be pregnant. Can David detect it?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, a menstrual cycle that is one week early or one week delayed is a normal physiological phenomenon. If you don't get your period in another two days, it's recommended to go to a regular hospital to get a blood hCG test to determine how accurately you might be pregnant. For now, using a pregnancy test kit may not be accurate. It's advised that you use condoms during intercourse to breastfeed and avoid taking any risks, as this can cause unnecessary worry about pregnancy. During the menstrual period, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited. I hope my explanation helps you.
