Patient's question:
My girlfriend took an emergency contraceptive pill in May. She usually has her period on the 12th, but after taking it, her period came on the 15th in May. Next month, it's supposed to be on the 14th. However, on July 4th, we had sex without a condom—just insertion, probably less than a minute. I'm sure it didn't go in, and I didn't even feel the urge to. I pulled out right away. But today is already the 19th, and she still hasn't had her period. Will she get pregnant? Or is it because of the emergency contraceptive pills she took two months ago? Is she really pregnant?Doctor's answer:
After a one-week delay in the menstrual cycle, an early pregnancy test can be used to detect it. If two red lines appear on the test paper, it indicates a positive result, meaning pregnancy; alternatively, you can go to the hospital to have your blood tested for human chorionic gonadotropin to confirm pregnancy.
