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 significant amount of semen leakage. 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: What is the earliest day a pregnancy test kit can detect pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, please pay attention to observing your menstrual cycle. If your period has not arrived and it has been more than 7-10 days, you should consider pregnancy. It is recommended to use early pregnancy test strips. Do not base it on the time of intercourse. Clinically, the calculation usually starts 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 intercourse. If the test is negative or inconclusive, you need to repeat the early pregnancy test after another 7 days. Morning urine tests are the best.
