Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 20-year-old female. I am having some issues please help me. I had my period on the 2nd of last month and it lasted till 6th. I had sex with my partner on the 12th via withdrawal method. And this month I have been expecting my period since 3rd and till today I have not seen my period. I am scared. Am I pregnant? I took multivitamin and grape for two days for stomach disorder and nausea. Could this also affect my period? Because right now I am having a headache and I always feel as if my period is there and once I check it nothing was there. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Possibility of pregnancy cannot be ruled out at this moment since you had sex during your fertile period, you did not take any i-pill and withdrawal method has a significant failure rate. Multivitamins and grapes usually will not affect the periods and regarding symptoms, these can be due to gastritis but the possibility of pregnancy is there.

So you should get a urine pregnancy test (UPT) done now and repeat it after 12 hours. Although, somewhat delay up to seven days in periods is normal as well, but do not worry and get UPT done. If it is negative then no need to worry and positive termination by medicine can be done as it is early. Next time take all precautions especially I-pill, or condom.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
