Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 22 years old woman. My period got delayed by 20 days. I had intercourse with my partner. I have mild pain in my abdomen, and there is brownish vaginal discharge. I took a urine test, and a faint pink line and a strong pink line appeared. Am I pregnant? If so, what medication should I take to avoid pregnancy? Also, if I take a blood test now, will it be more accurate?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A faint pink line does not confirm pregnancy. The dark line is for control. As your period is late by 20 days, both lines should be dark, you can repeat the test after five days, but if you have too much pain, you will need to do an ultrasound test of the pelvis or transvaginal ultrasound. Without confirming or excluding pregnancy, no medicine should be taken. It may harm you. Also, if the beta hCG level is in the pregnancy range, it will confirm. Otherwise, you will need to repeat the test after two days to see if the level is rising or not. That will be more accurate.

Regards.
