Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on October 18th. There were several instances of sexual activity in between, and she has not had her period yet. On the 23rd, 25th, and 28th, she tested with pregnancy strips, and all results were negative. Is it possible she is pregnant?Additional question: I took the tests on November 23rd, 25th, and 28th.
Doctor's answer:
A gynecological examination to confirm pregnancy may be your first prenatal visit. Many women, especially young first-time mothers, feel very scared or embarrassed. This is a very normal psychological feeling. If you want to overcome your fear, the best way is to ask your husband to come with you and encourage you. From a psychological perspective, at this time, a woman needs most is the encouragement and support of her loving husband. Therefore, every man who is a husband should help his wife overcome psychological pressure, encourage her not to be shy, not to be nervous, and to relax and cooperate with the doctor. During the examination, the doctor will notice that your uterus begins to grow, the cervix and lower uterine segment become soft and turn purple, and the vaginal mucosa changes color. For women who have been pregnant for two weeks, the accuracy of this examination is almost 100%.
