Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I was fooling around with my boyfriend after a week of having my periods. He did not insert it, but there was rubbing without a condom. There was no ejaculation at all. I took an I-pill within 12 hours, and we did the same thing again. I am afraid if I am pregnant. Should I get myself tested? All this is making me anxious. Even the word pregnancy is giving me jitters. What if the result is positive? I am sure that there was no penetration, and it was all just over the vagina, and I am still a virgin, but all this is making me really tensed. Is there any way we can induce the period? My period is delayed by ten days. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query. Delayed periods and irregular bleeding are known side effects of I-pill (Levonorgestrel). Do not worry. You can wait for one more week to see the pattern of bleeding. Do not worry. The chances of pregnancy in your case are extremely low. I hope this answers your query. Feel free to reach out for any further questions. Do not worry if it is not penetrative sex and if you had the pill.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply. Is there any pill that can induce period?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Ideally, it would be best if you wait for a few more days so that your body will get rid of excess hormones present in the I-pill, and then your periods will resume.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
One of the doctors suggested that I should go for beta hCG test that there are chances of pregnancy. I am tensed. It is tough for me to leave my place. What if I needed an abortion? Eventually, my family members will come to know. What should I do? Please help me.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You can do a beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to check, or a urine pregnancy test would work as well if period is delayed by five to six days. Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
It is delayed by ten days, as I have mentioned earlier. Shall I go for urine-based tests like Preganews or something like that? Could you please suggest if there is any other option other than a surgical one? If things are positive, I am terrified of this being disclosed.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes. Do an urine pregnancy test. If positive, you have to do an ultrasound pelvis to know how far you are in your pregnancy.
