Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had sex last month, and my period is late for one week. Am I pregnant? Kindly suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. You may be pregnant. However, it can take a few days for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus and for the pregnancy hormones to build up to be detected in a pregnancy test. If you are concerned about your pregnancy, you can take a home pregnancy test. However, I suggest you to wait at least a week after a missed period for accurate results.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
