Patient's question:
On June 24th, my period ended, and I took birth control pills afterward. On June 30th, I had bleeding that lasted for about four or five days. After that, I had sex. Today is August 2, and my period hasn't come yet. Is this a sign of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the chance of pregnancy is very high. Generally, the earliest you can do a blood HCG test to determine if you are pregnant is one week after sexual intercourse. Pregnancy test strips are only accurate 14 days after sexual intercourse. Ultrasound can only detect a gestational sac after 6 weeks of pregnancy.
