Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on October 27th, with a typical menstrual cycle of 30 days, lasting 5 days, and normal flow. Five days after the period was due, a pregnancy test showed positive. However, I started experiencing light bleeding at 37 days, which could be a sign of miscarriage. Am I really pregnant? First follow-up question: The pregnancy test showed a faint positive.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the 7 days before and 8 days after the menstrual period are considered the safe period for women, which means non-ovulatory days. Outside of this period, pregnancy is possible. If the menstrual cycle is delayed by 7 days, early pregnancy tests can be used to detect it. Two red lines on the test paper indicate a positive result, meaning pregnancy. Additionally, 10 days after sexual intercourse, blood HCG tests can be conducted at the hospital, which is the most accurate method for detecting pregnancy.
