Question
Hello doctor,
On February 6, I had unprotected sex with external ejaculation. On February 19, I got my period (my period is relatively regular). On March 13, I had unprotected sex again, but I couldn't pull it out in time, so I thought I had some semen inside. On March 19, I saw some blood, thinking it was menstrual blood, but then I couldn't see it anymore. I bought a pregnancy test and the 2nd line is blurry. The doctor asked me how to calculate the gestational age? Because I don't think from March 13 to March 19, the test strip has gone up 2 lines. If it's because of sex on February 6, will there be any effect if I take antibiotics or have sex for a month after that? Thank physicians sir.

Hello,
With the question "How to calculate gestational age?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
As you described above, it is also difficult to know at what time you are pregnant, you should visit the nearest facility for further advice.
Some notes if pregnant and using drugs during pregnancy. To calculate your gestational age, you need to provide the first day of your last period, if the first day of your last period is February 19, do you have unprotected sex on any other day besides March 19? Menstruation you say is regular, how many days the menstrual cycle, because February 19 has a period, March 19 must have a period again. You also need to specify the name of the antibiotic you have taken, as many groups of antibiotics are safe for pregnant women and some are not. Having sex during pregnancy or before pregnancy does not affect the fetus. What you need to do now is go to the hospital to be examined and diagnosed if you are pregnant and the doctor will give you specific advice.
If you still have questions about how to calculate gestational age, 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.
