Patient's question:
Doctor, it was me and my husband who had sexual intercourse. My period was supposed to come on the 25th, but we had intercourse on the 20th. Today is the 24th, and my period still hasn't arrived. Could this lead to pregnancy? At the time, we didn't have any protection, and I wasn't sure if it was safe because it might have been my fertile period. I hope a kind doctor can provide me with a detailed explanation. Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, if your menstrual cycle is regular, having intercourse during your safe period will not lead to pregnancy. You can wait a bit longer. It is recommended to check your blood hCG levels at the hospital 10 days after intercourse, or do a urine hCG test one week after your period is delayed. Based on the results, you can determine how you might have become pregnant. It is advised to pay attention to your menstrual cycle regularly, take care to avoid cold during your period, and prevent getting cold. If you are not trying to conceive, take proper contraceptive measures and pay attention to personal hygiene, keeping the external genital area clean and dry.
