Patient's question:
Doctor, hello; I am 25 years old, my period came on November 13th and a little bit on December 8th, but it hasn't come since. It was always normal and would come a day or two early before. Today, the test strip showed a faint positive, asking if it's really pregnancy! Thank you!First follow-up question: And I haven't had my hymen broken, and we used withdrawal, what are the chances of pregnancy?
Second follow-up question: With withdrawal and an intact hymen, could it still lead to pregnancy? Would it cause an ectopic pregnancy?
Third follow-up question: A faint positive on the test strip—could stress cause this as well?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the possibility of pregnancy is unlikely. Only when sperm and egg combine can a woman become pregnant. However, it is not impossible that some pre-ejaculate fluid mixed with a small amount of sperm entered the vagina before the male ejaculation, although the probability is extremely low. Moreover, the duration of the encounter was not long, so the chance of pregnancy is very small. However, the woman should pay attention and, if her next menstrual period is delayed by two weeks without arrival, she should undergo a check-up to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
