Q Hi Doctor, Age-22 Height-54 Weight-60 Hey I am asking this question on behalf of friend. She is of 22 and she had sex with he bf last month 3-4 times (betwen april 10 to April 30). Her expected date was May 7-8 but now its May 15 and no updates regarding the periods. So we are littile bit confused that whether she is pregnant or not even if we used all the prevention methods. If yes, can we abort the same through any oral medicine? For that what we are supposed to do? Can we go ahead by consulting any gynaec? Please help us to solve this issue. We dont want to abort the same by any Surgical method.
If a female misses her periods after an unprotected sexual intercourse, then she should wait for maximum 10 days after the missed date before opting for urine pregnancy test. If you have used precautions or birth control measures, then there are less chances that she is pregnant. But there is no birth control measure, which is 100% effective. And this failure of contraception may result in pregnancy. If pregnancy test comes positive, then it is necessary to confirm it by ultrasound. Abortion or termination of pregnancy by oral medication is possible till 12 weeks of pregnancy, and ultrasound will reveal the age of intrauterine fetus. But one should go for termination under supervision of experts. So visiting a good gynecologist is necessary in such cases. Always have safe sex.
