Patient's question:
I was 5 days late with my period and don't know if I'm pregnant. I also feel like I have a cold and think I might be vomiting acid water from my stomach. If I buy early pregnancy test paper, can it detect if I'm pregnant? Is it possible to get pregnant if I'm 5 days late?Doctor's answer:
Generally, early pregnancy tests using strips are not very accurate, while blood HCG tests are more reliable. It is recommended to check blood HCG to rule out pregnancy, and then adjust the menstrual cycle based on the endometrium shown on the ultrasound. The two medications you mentioned are only auxiliary and not very effective.Generally, doctors recommend that women with risk factors for prenatal examination should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
