Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period days. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can a delayed period of 18 days indicate pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
To determine pregnancy, it is generally necessary to wait 10 days after the next menstrual period to get a result. With a menstrual cycle of 28 days, the ovulation period occurs 14 days after the last menstrual period. Adding 10 days means you need to wait approximately 24 days after conception to detect pregnancy.Hello, generally, a menstrual period that is one week earlier or later is considered normal. In your current situation, you can wait and see. If it still hasn’t arrived after one week, you can take an early pregnancy test. If you are not pregnant, it may be menstrual irregularity, and you can take Wuji Baifeng pills or herbal medicine to regulate it. If necessary, hormone-based artificial cycle treatment can be used.
