Had Sex, Took I-pill. Got A Light Period. Advise On When Should I Get My Regular Period? Is Home Pregnancy Test Reliable?
hi,
it may sound absurd. but this is causing nightmares. So here goes-
Me and my fiance were making out. it got passionate, we never had an intercourse, but i think i felt some wetness from his underwear. He had it on,i didnt. we stopped then, and to rule out any complications, i had an i pill. this happened on 4 MAy 2013. My last period was on 25 April 2013. After the i pill, i had a period sort bleeding from 13MAy 2013, which lasted almost till 18 MAy 2013. When should i expect y next period to be? will it be on 25th MAy? or will it be 13 June? I m confused and worried. i know the chances are less to pregnant, as i am a virgin, and we never had an intercourse. and i had an ipill withing 4 hours. but when should i really start wondering or get a pregnancy test. also is a home pregnancy test reliable or should i get an ultrasound or blood test? I am worried and very tensed, i would appreciate if you could be sensitive about my situation.
Thanks

Dear user, welcome to healthcare magic.
I assure you that you almost have no chance to get pregnant. First because as you say you never had intercourse, second because you had the emergency pill after 4 hours and these pills are 95% effective if taken within the first 24 hours.
The menstrual irregularity you have is mostly because you are anxious. We cannot detect when the next period will come. The blood test is more sensitive than the home test. Ultrasound needs more time in order to discover pregnancy.
I see no need to all this. Don't worry. You are not pregnant.
Good luck.
