Patient's question:
I had my period on the 14th of last month. The first day after my period, my husband had intercourse inside me. My period hasn't arrived this month yet. Could I be pregnant? If so, what symptoms would I experience in the coming days? I think it should take over 40 days to show any symptoms, right? Seeking advice!First follow-up question: The period on the 14th of last month was my first period after my miscarriage.
Doctor's answer:
Generally, there are no symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy. The earliest symptoms usually appear around 40 days after a missed period. A very small number of people may experience symptoms within a day or two of conception. If conception occurs in the early part of the menstrual cycle, early pregnancy symptoms may appear sooner. It is also normal for many people to experience no symptoms after becoming pregnant.If you confirm pregnancy, it is important to rest and reduce physical activity during the first three months. Take folic acid supplements, avoid sexual intercourse, as there is a risk of miscarriage in the first trimester. Strengthen your nutrition, do not worry too much, and maintain a positive mood.
