What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnant After Protected Sex?

I went off my pill midcycle because I simply forgot to take it and thought I would just resume next month. I had protected sex shortly after and the condom did not break. I have not had a period since and it has been 4 to 4 1/2 weeks, which would make me late. I have been having discharge as well. Is there any possibility I'm pregnant? I just finished my semester at college and have been under alot of stress while doing vigorous exercise to try and lose weight.

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress, excessive exercise or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism.
I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done, if negative, then you can wait for the periods for another one to two weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
