Patient's question:
Two and a half months postpartum. My first period came on October 5th after giving birth, and it ended on the 9th. I had sex with my husband on the 14th and 17th, but he didn't come inside either time. On the 31st and November 2nd, I took pregnancy tests, and both showed negative. On November 4th, another test also showed negative, but I had sex with my husband again that night. Today should have been my period, but it hasn't arrived yet. Could I still be pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if you conceive, you can expect to test positive about 6 days after implantation, which is roughly the same time as about 10 days after intercourse. In your current situation, it is not possible to rule out the possibility of early pregnancy. We recommend you pay attention to contraceptive measures. You can use condoms, but before using them, you need to check carefully for any leaks. You should also expel the air before putting on the condom to prevent it from breaking. If your period is shorter than seven days, we suggest you retest to rule out the possibility of early pregnancy.
