Does a pregnancy test showing one line mean pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Menstruation is delayed for seven days. I bought a pregnancy test stick and it showed one line. On August 24th, I had a D&C surgery, and I had my period on September 15th. I had sexual intercourse in early October.

Doctor's answer:

Your menstrual period has appeared delayed again. Since you have had sexual activity and have not taken safe and effective contraceptive measures, it cannot be completely ruled out that you might be pregnant. Of course, it could also be due to menstrual irregularities, especially since you have just undergone a D&C procedure. It is recommended that you carefully observe your menstrual cycle and use a pregnancy test kit if it is delayed by ten days. If you are pregnant, it will be detected through a thorough examination. It is also advised to adjust your mindset and maintain a positive mood, as emotional fluctuations can also disrupt the regularity of your menstrual cycle.
