Patient's question:
I got my period on the 20th of last month, and on the 6th of this month, I was with my boyfriend. We didn't use a condom, and he also had an internal ejaculation, with a lot of semen leaking out. Now I'm a bit worried, afraid that if my period doesn't come, I might be pregnant. My boyfriend asked me to use a pregnancy test kit.What kind of help do I need: How early can a pregnancy test kit detect pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, please pay attention to observing your menstrual cycle. If your period has not arrived when it should and it has been more than 7-10 days, you should consider pregnancy. It is recommended to use early pregnancy test strips. Instead of calculating based on the time of sexual intercourse, it is generally clinically calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period. If the test shows two red lines, it indicates a positive result, suggesting pregnancy. However, you can also have a blood hCG test at the hospital 7 days after sexual intercourse. If the test is negative or inconclusive, you will need to repeat the early pregnancy test after another 7 days. Morning urine tests are the best.
