Brief Answer:
Test for pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about delayed periods.

Following is my reply:

1) It is better to check if you are pregnant. Please do a home pregnancy test as you are sexually active.

2) After that, if you are not pregnant, take deviry. This will help bringing periods if not pregnant.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
