Does Absence Of Period Mean Pregnancy Or Reaction To Wisdom Teeth Extraction?
I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted on October 30th. Normally, my period will start between the 4th and 7th of each month. I still have not started and it is the 14th. I took oxycodone and a nausea pill for my wisdom teeth. Could I be pregnant or is it a reaction to the surgery?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
There are numerous factors that affect the menstrual cycle, so tes, not the surgery exactly, but the stress from it could have caused a slight delay. Also, many medications can also interfere with the menstrual cycle and so the medication that you are on could also affect this.
But if you have a positive history of having unprotected sexual contact, then it is best to rule out pregnancy. Please speak to a doctor regarding the same.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
