Brief Answer:
FOLLOW THE ADVICE.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

1) You should wait another 4-7 days and repeat the home pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy. In this case, pregnancy test is ONLY VALID if it is done 2 weeks after last sexual intercourse.

2) On NEGATIVE test, Norethisterone pill can be taken twice daily for 5 days to induce period. You will get a withdrawal bleeding within 5-7 days after stopping them.

3) On POSITIVE test, you MUST consult with doctor for safe termination of the pregnancy with abortion pill and Norethisterone pill will NOT be effective in that case.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future.

Regards,
Dr Soumen

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

According to your information, you did unprotected sex close to your fertile days and withdrawal method has HIGH failure rate (around 15-27%).

I suggest you to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG (more reliable in early days) or repeat home pregnancy test after 7 days for confirmation. After that, you can follow previous advices which I have mentioned earlier.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr Soumen
