Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend on April 2nd, and her period was supposed to start on April 4th. It’s now April 13th and she still hasn’t gotten her period. I’m sure I didn’t ejaculate inside her, but we’re both getting worried. Is there a chance she could be pregnant? What should we do now?

Hello

 

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

 

There is a chance she could be pregnant, especially since her period is delayed. The first step is to take a home urine pregnancy test. If it's positive, she should follow up with an ultrasound and a doctor’s visit to confirm the pregnancy. If confirmed, she'll need to start regular checkups and plan for delivery with a specialist. Additional blood and urine tests may be done as part of routine care.

 

Thanks
