Brief Answer:
No need of pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I don't see any need for pregnancy test. Next cycle date will vary as she has taken postpone tablets. Please wait for 2 months before periods regularize. This time her periods are likely to be around XXXXXXX 25.

Meanwhile don't worry about pregnancy as I don't see any chance of pregnancy.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Should I count the expected period date from the withdrawl bleeding date I.e 25-27 may (after tacking pill). Or her regular period date I.e 13 may ???

Brief Answer:
Periods vary

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Since periods were repeated on 25 may, the next bleeding is likely to start only around 25th XXXXXXX

I don't see any reason to worry.
