This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex with my partner two weeks ago, and I moved to a different place. I have not gotten my period yet. What steps should I take to manage this?

Kindly advise.

Answered by Dr. Ali Osman

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is understandable to feel concerned in this situation.

Based on the information provided, the main concern is a missed or delayed menstrual period after recent unprotected sexual intercourse, which raises the possibility of pregnancy.

The first step is to confirm whether pregnancy has occurred. This can be done by taking a home pregnancy test using first-morning urine, as it contains a higher concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone detected in pregnancy tests. Since the relocation occurred recently, obtaining a pregnancy test and checking as soon as possible would be advisable.

A delayed menstrual period can also occur due to several other reasons, including stress, travel, changes in daily routine, or hormonal fluctuations. However, because unprotected sexual intercourse occurred, ruling out pregnancy should be the priority.

If the pregnancy test result is positive, it is important to consult a healthcare provider promptly to discuss available options and receive appropriate medical guidance. If the result is negative but the menstrual period does not occur within the next one to two weeks, medical evaluation may be required to determine other possible causes of amenorrhea.

Confirming your height and weight may be helpful during a medical evaluation.

The safest next step is to take a pregnancy test as soon as possible and then consult a healthcare professional depending on the result.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.

Thank you.
