Can Dulcolax Be Taken For A Missed Period?

hello Dr. I have a question, My period was delayed it supposed to be july 8th2017, we had a contact as far as I remember it was around june 18 after a week of my period which is june 8th. I never missed my period . after our contact I was so paranoid I will get pregnant so I took 2 buscopan, and the next day I took 4 tabs of pills (althea). I was so stupid and guilty about what I did because I feel it was just an accident and unexpected. so I did what I can do to not to get pregnant as early as I can. so what happened to me I got UTI after a week . I ve got this burning sensation after the last drop of my pee, I got fever ,my left side flank hurts so I went to doctor to treat my UTI. I had my urinalysis and the only thing she advised me is my urine is so dirty because of bacteria found on it but didn t said if I am pregnant or what ( I forgot to ask) I can t even read the urinalysis result. so she advised me to take cefuroxime for 7 days and drink plenty of water. and after that I got my UTI treated last june end of the month. I am expecting my period yesterday but it never came. is it because of the antibiotic I took or the pill? cause I thought taking 2 to 3 pill can be an emergency pill in case no protection was used when we had contact. and oh by the way, I continue to take all the tab of my pills after I was okay of my UTI. I don t know what to do. I was so paranoid after I missed my first day of my period so I bought pregnancy test yesterday. I took the test but it was negative.i took dulcolax(hyoslaxative), buscopan cine (cause I heard that tab can cause contraction and open your cervix so I can have my period) . I know I am overreacting. I just don t want to ruin my future it s because of unexpected things and stupid things I did. that was my first time and I don t want to do it again. I m so disappointed with myself. please help me doctor. your immediate response is highly appreciated

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I don't think Buscopan and Dulcolax acts on Cervical opening , you are expected to have period on July 8th, so do a pregnancy test after that.

Hope I have answered your query.
