Patient's question:
My period hasn't arrived this month, and I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. I'm also unsure when is the best time to get checked.Because when I was pregnant before, early tests couldn't determine the reason. Last month, I took birth control pills, which caused my period to be irregular, and it still hasn't come. Usually, my period is on the 28th, but I had a one-time sexual encounter three days ago, and it hasn't arrived yet. I want to get checked, but I don't know when is the best time to do so?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound to confirm if it is an intrauterine pregnancy. It is best to undergo a comprehensive check-up, including blood pressure, weight, breast examination, blood and urine tests, etc. It is advisable to establish a prenatal check-up card at a hospital near your home and undergo regular prenatal examinations.
