Patient's question:
My menstrual period ended around December 3rd this month. The past two days, I've noticed some slight pain when pressing on my chest, similar to the days before my period, but not as pronounced. It's only December 17th now. Could I be pregnant? My boyfriend says he always uses external protection, so it shouldn't be possible. But I'm still a bit worried. If I were pregnant, would a pregnancy test work now?Doctor's answer:
Hello:If your menstrual cycle is regular! If you have intercourse during the ovulation period, you should pay attention to the possibility of early pregnancy! Generally, it is recommended to wait naturally for your period!
If your period is delayed, you can use an early pregnancy test. If you want to confirm it earlier, you can go to the hospital at least 10 days after intercourse for a blood test to check HCG.
