Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

My girlfriend and I had foreplay on the 22nd of September. We didn’t have actual intercourse, but I did finger her. Her last period was on the 5th of September. She was supposed to get her period on the 1st of October, but today is the 5th, and it’s delayed. We took a pregnancy test on the 4th of October, and the result was negative. Could you help us determine if she might be pregnant? We really don’t want a pregnancy now.

Hello,

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

 

It’s recommended to take another pregnancy test after a week and get a scan to confirm the result. Consulting a specialist for an examination before taking any further steps is advisable. If this would be the first pregnancy, it’s important to note that complications can occur in about 5% of cases. If she is not pregnant, it may be wise to consider a reliable contraceptive method until you are ready for pregnancy.

 

Thanks
