Patient's question:
After giving birth, I haven't had my period for over three years. My last period came on the 23rd of last month. On the 20th of this month, I had sex with my husband without taking any precautions, but I still haven't gotten my period. Previously, my periods were always regular. Could I be pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle has always been regular, you had intercourse on the 20th, and you haven't had your period yet, it cannot be definitively confirmed whether you are pregnant, and the possibility of pregnancy is also not high. However, based on your description, it cannot be ruled out that pregnancy is a possibility. It is recommended that you go to a regular public hospital's gynecology department for examination, have blood tested for hCG. If the hCG level is greater than 25, it is considered that you might be pregnant. However, at this time, the accuracy of the hCG test is not high, and it is recommended to wait a month and see the menstrual situation before making a definitive diagnosis.
