Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:My menstrual cycle is very regular. According to previous cycles, it should have arrived on the 20th of this month, but it hasn't come yet. My husband and I had sex during the ovulation period. Could I be pregnant?
If I am pregnant, will a hospital check detect an ectopic pregnancy if it's 7 days past the expected period? I'm worried that the embryo might be too small to show up. Please provide an answer from a medical professional.
A woman who desperately wants a child!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if sperm enters the room during coitus, the probability of pregnancy is relatively high. However, if it doesn't go in and is released outside, pregnancy will not occur. If your period doesn't come for more than a week after your cycle, you can use a pregnancy test kit to check. A negative result can help ease your mind. Pay attention to relaxing, reducing stress, regulating your diet and sleep, and wait a few days to see if your period will arrive. If your period still hasn't come after half a month, you can have an ultrasound examination.
