Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

All the precautions including birth control pills are not 100% fool proof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum HCG determination and an ultrasound abdomen to rule this out including any other pathology in the pelvic/abdominal organs. Considering that you are sexually active, I would also suggest you to get a urine test for routine/microscopic and culture sensitivity test and properly get assessed by a gynaecologist to rule out a PID (pelvic inflammatory disease).

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
