Hi there XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your question.

I understand your concern.

If all that your fiance did was to touch the outside of your vagina with his penis without ejaculating then you can not possibly be pregnant. Worry and stress can delay your periods.

The only real way to know if you are pregnant or not is to do a pregnancy test. Today these are cheap and very reliable. You can get a home pregnancy kit and test it as per the advise given in the package insert.

To avoid a pregnancy medically you need to take a contraceptive of which there are many forms. Or, better still, your fiance should wear a condom.

I hope this helps you.

Wishing you Good health.

Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply Dr XXXXXXX

However, I still have the following queries:
1. When is the right time to do pregnancy test?
2. If I am pregnant, what all medicines should I take? and what should be the timings and for how long should I be taking medicine? Is RU-486 to be taken?
3. Can anyone in future know if I had an abortion ?

Hi there. Thank you for your follow up questions.

You can do a pregnancy test a week after you think you may have been at risk of becoming pregnant. You can do it right now and it will be very reliable.

I will answer all your other questions about pregnancy when you have the result of your pregnancy test. In general it is not a good idea to cross your bridges before you come to them. You are going to be fine, don't worry.

And for your information dear, it is not wise to be considering about self medication.

Please do get back to me with your reports.

Awaiting your response.

Regards.
