Patient's question:
I missed my period by a week, and it was usually very regular for the past two months. My boyfriend wore a condom during sex, and I took a pregnancy test which came back negative. Am I pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Generally, pregnancy will not occur without semen entering the vagina. It is normal for menstruation to be delayed by one week. In your case, it is recommended to use a pregnancy test kit one week after the menstrual delay to check for pregnancy. If pregnancy is ruled out, it can be considered as menstrual irregularity.
