Patient's question:
I had my period on the 25th of last month. Today this month, I haven't had my period yet. On the 23rd of this month, I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative. But today is the 24th, and I still haven't had my period. I'm wondering what the chance of pregnancy is.Also, I took a test on the 23rd and it was negative. Could this mean that I'm definitely not pregnant, or was it too early to detect?
Doctor's answer:
23rd test is a bit early, it's still less than a month until the 23rd. Early pregnancy tests are most sensitive between 1 to 40 days, and if there's no pregnancy after testing in the 30s, pregnancy can be ruled out. Generally, doctors recommend that women with risk signs of prenatal care maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
