Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 20 year old girl. Last month on 22nd, I had protected sex. And on 28th, I got two or three drops of bleeding, and it was my date of periods. After that, I did not get any periods. Am I pregnant?

Answered by Dr. Gowrimeena

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From what you have said, it looks like you are not ready for a pregnancy. As the bleeding on 28th was not like a normal period, pregnancy chance is very much possible. It may just be a delayed period, due to the stress and tension you are having. But we need to check. Please have a home pregnancy test or a urine pregnancy test.

If the test is positive, we need to deal with the unplanned pregnancy. If the test is negative, then we can give you medicines to induce periods. You may also need tests to check why there is a delay in periods, in spite of not being pregnant.

Hope this helps, Take care!
