What Chance To Get Pregnant With Late Periods?

my last period was august 2011...that was when i actually had bleeding. It is now october 2011 and i have still not gotten it. I have had late periods before but i do not remember them being this late. My husband and I have unprotected sex and I am not on birth control. I am only 22 and i have never been pregnant. what are the chances i should take a pregnancy test?

Hallow Dear,

Your history suggests that there are good chances that you could be pregnant. Whenever a woman in childbearing age, otherwise having regular menses, misses her period, is having sexual exposure and is not on any birth control method, the first diagnosis is Pregnancy. You can confirm the pregnancy by urine pregnancy test performed 8-10 days after missed period on overnight morning first urine sample. Another alternative is to go for Beta hCG test which gives reliable results even few days before the missed period.

I am sure this helps you.
