Is the period not coming because of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Currently, in general: I had sexual intercourse with my husband on 10.2, and my period was normal on 10.15. After that, we lived in different places and did not have sexual intercourse, but I still did not start my period on 11.20. Could it be pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation delay can generally be attributed to the following reasons:
1. Pregnancy: Seven days after the expected menstrual period, you can use a "early pregnancy test strip" to test your urine. If it shows positive, it is likely that you are pregnant. Conversely, if the "early pregnancy test paper" is negative, it is not. However, if you are pregnant, you may also experience other symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. Of course, the final method is to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital.
2. Side effects of medication: For example, long-term use of birth control pills can lead to endocrine disorders, which can also cause delayed menstruation.
3. Other factors: Such as mental stress, high pressure, environmental changes, and other psychological factors, as well as some endocrine-related diseases, can all cause delayed menstruation.
Advice: If menstruation is delayed for more than 10 days, regardless of the cause, it is recommended to come to the hospital for examination and confirmation. The doctor will provide appropriate treatment based on your condition.
