Patient's question:
I had sex with my husband on November 5th and 6th. We have always used condoms for contraception. My period arrived on November 12th as usual, and we haven't had any sex since then. However, my period didn't come on time on December 12th, and it still hasn't arrived. Could I be pregnant? I'm very worried and would really like some help. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
??????Generally speaking, if menstruation lasts more than one week, you can determine if you are pregnant by testing urine HCG, which is a home pregnancy test. In your case, you can first take a morning urine test. If you are pregnant, you will be approximately 36 days pregnant. If you confirm pregnancy, you can have an ultrasound at 40 days of pregnancy to check if there is a gestational sac and fetal bud in the uterine cavity.
