Is Delays In Periods An Indication To Potential Pregnancy?

Hi, i suspect i am pregnant, but i have not confirmed. My last period started on the 26th january 2011, and i had sex about 2 days after it ended. However, i took a morning after pill which made me see my period again on the 4th of february. I had unprotected sex from 19th to 24th of february. I stil haven t seen my period. Do you think i may be pregnant, and if i am, please can you suggest safe ways that i can Remove it without having an abortion? Probably drugs or injections? Ashley

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the morning after pill was not required as the 2 days after completion of period comes under safe period.The pill causes hormonal imbalance leading to effect on timing and amount of bleeding.So,you experienced the period on 4th Feb i.e earlier than expected due to pill effect.As the periods have come irregularly we cannot predict the chance of pregnancy.So, I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test.
This test usually given accurate results a week after expected period.
If the test in negative wait for spontaneous onset of period for 10-15 days.If test is positive it can be terminated medically upto 6-7 weeks.But always take (pregnancy) termination medicines under doctor supervision to avoid complications.
