Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I missed my period this month. I had unprotected sex on 15th December, and my period was due on 20th December, but it's now past that date, and I still haven't gotten it. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? Should I be concerned or take a test?

 

Hello,

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

 

It's possible that your period has simply been delayed, but it's also possible that the bleeding you're experiencing could be related to early pregnancy. In either case, I recommend taking a pregnancy test to confirm whether you are pregnant or if it's just a delayed period. If the test is positive, it's important to schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider to discuss next steps. If it's negative and your period still doesn't appear, it may be a good idea to consult with a doctor to rule out other potential causes.

 

Thanks
