Patient's question:
I got my period on December 15th and it ended on the 21st. We had sex on the 23rd. On January 12th, my discharge had a bit of redness, and all three early pregnancy tests showed one dark and one faint line, while one pregnancy test stick showed one line. On the 15th, I had two drops of blood, and there was blood on both January 19th and 20th. When I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, the doctor said the baby was too small to be detected, but he didn't ask me any questions and just told me to have an ultrasound. I feel that's not very reliable.Doctor's answer:
According to your ultrasound results, it is still considered early pregnancy. It is recommended that you have a follow-up ultrasound in one week, because after one week, according to your last menstrual period, it should be 45 days since your period stopped. The ultrasound can reveal the yolk sac and embryo, which can help verify how you got pregnant. A delayed period does not necessarily mean pregnancy; it could be due to endocrine disorders. Early pregnancy tests are not always accurate, and for pregnancy confirmation, the hospital ultrasound is the most reliable.
