Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago, and now my period is 6 days late. I took a pregnancy test, but it came back negative. Does this mean I’m not pregnant? What are my options if I decide to have an abortion?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

While a negative pregnancy test is a good indicator that you may not be pregnant, it’s not always 100% accurate, especially if taken too early. Since your period is late, I recommend scheduling a scan, such as an ultrasound, to confirm whether or not you're pregnant. If you're considering abortion, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance on the available options, taking into account your health and preferences.

 

Thanks
