Q: Missed periods- Am i pregnant?

asked by: confusedhelp on September 11th, 2008

New User

Hi, I missed my periods last month (was supposed to get it on 11th August) and now its a month late. I had unprotected sex a week before that. I have even taken 3 pregnancy tests on the 22nd, 23rd and 30th of august (early morning) which hav all been negative. I got myself checked by a doc who said i might have pcod as Ive also been getting pimples on my face and back. She has given me a course on rogesterone to induce my periods. Since I'm from a conservative country, so I dont think the doc even considered the possibility of an unmarried girl being pregnant.

Is there still a possibility of me being pregnant? If so how do I confirm? I have completed my 5 day rogesterone course yesterday, by wen should I get my periods? (age:22 yrs)

Do you have regular or irregular periods?

If your mesntrual cycles are regular and predictable, you can backtrack to the possible date of ovulation (14 days before your period is due) and calculate the chances of pregnancy from there. The most fertile days of the cycle are the 2 days before and after ovulation.

Missed periods- Am i pregnant

My periods were due on the 11th of August. So if i had sex on the 7th or 8th of August. What would the chances be? and my periods usually vary by about 4-5 days from the day it is due. but in July it was about a week late.

There isn't an actual percentage of chance we can give you.

Especially if you actually have pcos, when/if you ovulated is something we can't be sure of.

What did your doctor say to do after you finished your 5 day course of progesterone? I've heard it will take a few days after your last pill for your period to come.

She told me my periods should start 2 days after I have the last dose. So it should start from tomorrow since i got over with the course yesterday. The thing is if I am actually pregnant, I definitely will not be able to keep the baby. there are a lot of god reasons for this. I would have to go to a different city for the termination. I took the pregnancy test 20 days after my periods were due and that too early morning as soon as i got up. so is there still a chance of pregnancy?

I wouldn't think so. Everyone is different, but I'd think if you're a month late now then you'd be able to trigger a positive if you were pregnant.

Just wait patiently and don't stress about it for now. Your period will mostlikely come tomorrow or soon after, if not then just scoot back over to the doctors. Are you going to consider birth control to help regulate your periods?

Birth control pills are actually doses of hormone that STOP ovulation...the egg will not be produced. So, BC pills regulate when you BLEED to a predictable time and length, but it's not a real menstrual period. I'm not sure HOW they work ... so if someone knows, maybe she can pop in an answer?
