Patient's question:
I had my period on December 9th, and it was usually normal. On the 17th, I had sex and took the emergency contraceptive pill (Yuteng). I started bleeding on the 22nd, which lasted for about 5 days, with light red blood and a small amount. I had sex on December 27th, January 9th, and January 16th (on the 9th, my discharge was clear and viscous). On the 18th, a pregnancy test was negative, but on the 21st, an early morning pregnancy test showed two red lines, one faint. Blood test results showed HCG 27.86 on the 23rd and HCG 152 on the 23rd. A vaginal ultrasound did not reveal anything. On the 28th, HCG was over 2,400, and ultrasound showed a 3mm x 3mm dark area. Based on clinical considerations, could you please tell me when I might have become pregnant? ?? If it was on the 17th when I had sex, would the emergency contraceptive pill affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
First, consider pregnancy when experiencing delayed menstruation. Factors such as emotional repression in daily life, living environment, stimulating foods, and malnutrition can all affect menstruation, leading to delays. For your situation, it is recommended to have a blood test for HCG at the hospital or undergo an ultrasound after 40 days to confirm pregnancy.
