Menstruation is delayed by 3 days

Patient's question:

The menstrual period arrived last month on the 28th, and I had sexual intercourse on the 20th. Up until now, my period hasn't come. On the 28th, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, I used You'er Early Pregnancy Test, Qianjin Early Pregnancy Test, and Yu Ting Early Pregnancy Test, and all showed negative results. So why hasn't my period arrived yet?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, a menstrual period being one week early or late is considered normal. If you have had normal sexual activity without taking effective contraceptive measures, and your period is delayed, it's important to first consider whether you might be pregnant. You can visit a hospital 10 days after intercourse to get an HCG test for confirmation, or you can use a pregnancy test kit one week after your period is delayed. However, pregnancy test strips can be more affected by human factors, so it's recommended to test multiple times and use morning urine for the best results.
Advice: If you are not pregnant, you should pay attention not to overexert yourself. Poor rest, stress, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders can all lead to a delayed menstrual period.
