Patient's question:
To this day, it has been 42 days since my last menstrual period. Previously, before my period, I would experience breast tenderness, but so far this month, I haven't felt any tenderness. Additionally, I haven't experienced any early pregnancy symptoms.Medical history and treatment effectiveness: Last month, I took traditional Chinese medicine to restore the function of my fallopian tubes.
Help needed: Could you please tell me what might be wrong with me? Is it likely that I am pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are two possibilities to consider: the first is pregnancy, and the second is irregular menstruation. Pregnancy can now be tested. You can go to the hospital to have your blood tested for HCG or use a pregnancy test kit around one week after your period is delayed. If you haven't had your period for 42 days and the pregnancy test shows one line, this indicates a negative result, which generally means it can be ruled out. However, there may still be some errors. If you want to determine whether you are pregnant, you can check your blood HCG, which can provide a completely definitive result. If your menstrual cycle is usually irregular and you have had unprotected sex recently, there is a possibility of an unexpected pregnancy. It's best to go to the hospital for a blood test, as the results will be more accurate.
