Patient's question:
On October 3rd, I had the IUD removed. Ten days later, we had sex. Now my period is four days late, and my breasts are feeling tender. Can a pregnancy test detect if I'm pregnant? If I am, can I keep the baby?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you had the IUD removed on October 3rd, and had sex ten days later on October 13th. Now your period is four days late, and you're experiencing breast tenderness again, worried it might be a sign of pregnancy. It's only been 11 days since you had sex on the 13th, so it might be possible to detect pregnancy with a urine test at this point. It's recommended to test with morning urine for the most accurate results. If you want to be 100% sure, it's best to have a blood test for HCG at the hospital.
