Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could I still be pregnant near the time of my period?Doctor's answer:
General early pregnancy tests are most accurate about 7 days after a missed period, so your situation cannot be ruled out as pregnancy. The menstrual cycle is affected by many factors, such as emotions, medication, and environment. Generally, a delay or advancement of one week is considered normal. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and warmth. If the menstrual period does not arrive for more than one week, you can repeat the early pregnancy test for confirmation.
