Brief Answer:
do urine pregnancy test.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Since you have missed your period the first thing is to confirm if you are pregnant or not.

Do a urine pregnancy test immediately.

If positive, you can decide about continuation or not and then get a prescription from a gynaecologist for the medications required to discontinue th pregnancy.

If negative you can take progesterone pills to get your period.

Don't worry, the chances of pregnancy are less as you were not in your fertile period of the cycle, which is from the 8 to 18 day of the cycle.

But you need to do the urine pregnancy test immediately to be sure.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
