Hello Doctor,
I had unprotected sex on the day of my ovulation, which was 8 days after my last period started (13th October). Now, my period is 3 days late, and I took a pregnancy test today. The result showed negative, but there was a faint line on the positive side. Over the past few days, I’ve experienced some unusual symptoms, including mild abdominal pain and tenderness around the nipple area. Can you advise me on what steps I should take next?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Based on the details you've provided, it would be a good idea to repeat the pregnancy test in a few days. Sometimes, testing too early may not provide an accurate result due to low hormone levels (hCG) that may not yet be detectable.
2. Additionally, I recommend scheduling an ultrasound scan of your lower abdomen and pelvis. This can help provide a clearer understanding of what might be causing your symptoms, whether it’s related to pregnancy or another underlying condition.
3. In the meantime, keep track of any other symptoms or changes you experience, and avoid taking any medications without consulting a healthcare professional. If your symptoms worsen or you experience severe pain, please seek immediate medical attention.
Thanks
