Hello doctor, I had sex with my boyfriend 1 day after my period ended, but 3 days later I got my period again and lasted 4 days, until now I still haven't had my period. I have tested the strip 3 times with 1 line. So is there any chance that I could be pregnant or have a medical condition? Thank you doctor.
