Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It's best to wait for a week to 10 days to see if your period arrives. If it doesn’t, you should take a pregnancy test using a kit with a few drops of urine. For added assurance, consider getting a scan. It’s also a good idea to seek help soon and think about using appropriate contraception.

 

Thanks
