Question
Hello doctor,
I am 5 days late for my period and I had sex 1 week ago. I went to buy a test strip and it said 1 line, but today I tried again and it showed a bold line and a faint line. I found the pregnancy test strip slightly distorted with signs of a broken stick. Doctor let me ask, 5 days late, is it pregnant?

Hello,
To the question "Is it pregnant 5 days late, is it pregnant?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Normally, the menstrual cycle in women will range from 22 days to 35 days. and is repeated monthly. Usually 5 days to 7 days late in the menstrual cycle is likely to be pregnant. If your period is regular, but now you have a period up to 5 days late, you are very likely to be pregnant. 1 week ago you took a pregnancy test with 1 line, but now testing 2 lines may also be suitable. You should see an obstetrician, who will diagnose and advise in detail, maybe ultrasound and HCG test.
If you still have questions about late period, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
