Brief Answer:
Get a pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Get a pregnancy test with early morning urine sample first..

Do you have regular cycles? Have you missed periods before?

If pregnancy test negative, you can take norethisterone for 5 days.. Other progesterone regimes can also be used to induce periods.. You will get periods in 1 week time.. Consult your doctor for the prescription..

Hope i have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
