Patient's question:
My current symptoms are that my last menstrual period was on the 18th of last month, and my period this month was expected on the 4th. It has now been delayed by 6 days and has not arrived. Yesterday, I tested with a pregnancy test kit and it was negative. Today, I went to the hospital for a urine test, which was also negative, but the ultrasound showed the endometrium to be 15mm thick. I would like to ask if there is still a possibility of pregnancy in this current situation?Additional information: I have been delayed by 6 days, tested with a pregnancy test kit yesterday, and had a urine test at the hospital today, which counts as two tests. Moreover, the ultrasound did not indicate pregnancy. From the current situation, is the possibility of pregnancy high or low, or can I be certain that I am not pregnant? Also, the doctor prescribed progesterone for me. Will I still get my period while taking progesterone?
Doctor's answer:
On November 18th, I had my period. The estimated ovulation period is around December 2nd. On December 4th, we had intercourse. The probability of conception is approximately 99%, indicating a very high chance of pregnancy.Generally, if the period is delayed by 10 days and has not arrived, it is highly suspected that pregnancy may have occurred. At that time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and other detailed examinations for diagnosis.
If pregnancy does not occur, sometimes progesterone can be used to regulate the cycle. Typically, after taking this medication, a woman's period will arrive approximately 15 days later.
