Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I have read your description and understand your concern. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is the only hormone that would make a pregnancy test positive. Since you have taken precautions during intercourse with your partner, it is unlikely that you could be pregnat. However, steroids do affect a woman s levels of progesterone and estrogen levels, which might have caused delay in your periods. Kindly wait for another week and see if you get your periods. In case you don t get, you need to consult Gynecologist for evaluation and management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
