Hallow Dear,

Even though the penis was withdrawn before ejaculation of the semen, there is always a chance of deposition of pre ejaculatory secretions (precum) in the vagina. This secretion is expelled out without knowing. It does contain some sperms in it which are capable of causing pregnancy.

Delay in periods by two days should not be taken so seriously as it can happen due to the stress also. If you do pregnancy test at this stage, it will be too early and may report false negative also. Urine pregnancy tests are best reliable if performed on overnight early morning first urine sample about a week after the missed period.

However, Beta hCG test on the blood is highly reliable and gives reliable results 10 days after the last unprotected intercourse; it can give reliable results even few days before missing a period. You may get this test done on your cousin. Non-pregnant state values are under 5 mIU/ml while values above 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy.

If this test indicates that she is not pregnant, you may give her Tab. Deviry for 5 days and then within 4-7 days she will get withdrawal bleeding.

I hope this helps you.
