Patient's question:
Menstrual cycle is 26 days, very regular. Started menstruation on February 20th and ended on the 24th. Had intercourse on the 27th without using contraception. What is the likelihood of pregnancy? I don't want to take emergency contraception. On the 28th, there was a bit of thin, white discharge. On March 1st, there was once discharge that was clumpy, and after that, there was none. Could I have already ovulated? Ovulation test strips showed one dark line and one faint line on the 2nd.Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, it's important to observe your menstrual cycle. If your period doesn't arrive when it's supposed to and you haven't had it for 7-10 days, you should consider pregnancy. It's recommended to use early pregnancy test strips. Clinically, the count usually starts from the first day of your last menstrual period. If the pregnancy test strip shows two red lines, it indicates a positive result, meaning there is a possibility of pregnancy. Seven days after intercourse, you can also go to the hospital for a blood HCG test, which is relatively accurate.
