Patient's question:
Hello!1. A few days ago, the test strips showed no abnormalities, but this morning the test result was positive. My last menstrual period was on the 12th of last month, and I had a sexual encounter with my partner around December 1st. Should the pregnancy period be calculated from November 12th or December 1st? How many days have passed?
2. Although I am married, I haven’t planned to have children yet. If that’s the case, which method of abortion would be most suitable for this time? Which method is safest?
Thank you! First follow-up question: So, it’s been 30 days from today, right? 30 days.
Doctor's answer:
The date of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, not from the time of sexual intercourse. During early pregnancy, women are very prone to miscarriage, so they must pay special attention. They should not lift heavy objects or engage in intense exercise, and should minimize the number of times they go out. Overexertion should be avoided, with plenty of rest and adequate sleep. Sexual activity should also be controlled. When feeling particularly tired, they should not take a bath but should rest in bed early and ensure regular prenatal check-ups.
