Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had protected sex with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, it was an expired condom. But, we had no problem with the condom. Now, my girlfriend has missed her periods. So, please give me your suggestion.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • If the condom did not break, then the chance of pregnancy is low.
  • But, she can do a urine pregnancy test to confirm her current state.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

My girlfriend had a pregnancy test and it was negative.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  • If it is negative, then wait for a few days and then repeat the test.
  • Periods may be late due to many reasons including anxiety and stress.
