Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had an unprotected sex with my fiance a week ago and now I missed my period. I am scared that I will become pregnant and I do not want it now. Please help me to stop pregnancy. Please.

Answered by Dr. Sameer Kumar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, please get a serum beta hCG test done to conclusively rule out or confirm pregnancy. If the hCG levels are more than 5 mIU/mL then you are pregnant else you are not. If positive then you may require to get an ultrasound pelvis done to confirm the location of pregnancy as to if it is intrauterine or an ectopic pregnancy. If intrauterine then you can opt for termination of pregnancy by a medical method under a gynecologist supervision.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
