Can missed period mean pregnancy?

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

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 (unmarried) and I have missed my periods on first two days and I suppose I might be pregnant (unplanned) as I am not having any symptoms of my monthly periods. Me and my fiance had a pullout in 6-10 seconds after he inserted the penis in vagina but there was just a pre-cum which he had already wiped away and there was no ejaculation taken place (sure). Is it a sign of pregnancy? Can I consult a gynecologist alone without parents or guardian? Can I terminate the pregnancy by medication as it has been only 6 days? What should I expect? Please help, I am stressed.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please do not get worried or panicked. Get a beta hCG test done. It is a blood test to confirm pregnancy. A value less than 5 means you are not pregnant. Even if it is positive, you do not need to worry. You can get it terminated by medicines (You will need to get an USG done first). You can visit a gynecologist without parents and your privacy will be respected. Please make sure you visit a qualified gynecologist and do not visit quack out of social fear. Gynecologists are professional and will not meddle in your private life and will help you get rid of pregnancy without risk to your life.
