Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on August 19, and it was absent on August 25. On September 30, we had intercourse without taking any precautions, although we had been using protection before that. My period has not arrived yet. On October 19, a pregnancy test showed one dark and one faint line. Today, another test showed two red lines. Could you please tell me how far along I might be? If I don't want to continue the pregnancy, is it better to have a medication abortion or a surgical abortion?Doctor's answer:
Your current situation is quite special, so this description alone cannot confirm the time of conception. It is recommended to visit the hospital as soon as possible for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. Based on the condition of the gestational sac, the approximate time of conception can be confirmed. Generally, it is advised to opt for artificial abortion. Drug abortion should only be considered as a last resort, but the specific choice should be confirmed based on your physical condition.
