Brief Answer: there is no home remedy to prevent pregnancy Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXX, I have read your query. Please let me know the date of your last menstrual period (LMP), and the date of sexual intercourse. I am sorry to say but unfortunately, there is no home remedy to prevent or abort a pregnancy. Please let me know the details to help you specifically regarding further steps of action. Awaiting your response. Regards,

Brief Answer: unlikely to be pregnant Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXX, Do you mean to say you had intercourse on 16th November? If yes, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. Your last menstrual date was 19th October. During the time of 16th November, you were in your safe or unfertile period. That makes it unlikely for you to be pregnant now. Please relax, do not worry. Do wait for your periods to come for a couple of days more. You should get it sooner. If at all you do not get your periods by 30th of November, then you may want to do a home urine pregnancy test. However, my experience says that you are not pregnant. Wish you good health. Take care!
