What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Having Negative UPT?
I and my girlfriend had an unprotected sex throughout April but we always adopt withdrawal method. She is supposed to see her period on the 24th of April but had not seen it till now 3rd of May. We did a pregnancy test that proved negative. Please is there a chance that a fertilization has taken place but not yet implanted which is why the PT proved negative? What drug can stop the pregnancy from eventually taken place? Thank. Folutee

Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
A drop of pre ejaculate is enough to cause pregnancy.
Using the withdrawal method for birth control requires self-control. Even then, the withdrawal method isn't an especially effective form of birth control.
Pregnancy is also possible if semen or pre-ejaculate is spilled on the vulva.
Most experts advise that you should wait at least one day after your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test, though waiting a week is considered best. This can be tough when you are anxious to find out if you're pregnant, but waiting allows for a higher degree of accuracy when taking the test, as hCG levels rise rapidly in pregnant women.
It's best to do the home pregnancy test first thing in the morning, when your urine is most concentrated and hCG levels are highest.
So I advice you to perform a test a week after missed period and with morning sample of urine. This test kits are nearly 98% accurate, so reliable.
With transvaginal ultrasonography, the diagnosis of pregnancy can be made earlier by 4-5 weeks gestation.
Hormonal Agents are available to cause first trimester abortion and for this i advice you to see doctor as they are prescription based medicines.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
