Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You had sex on 16th day of your cycle.
In a 29 day period there are chances of conception on day 16. Right now it is too early to get a positive pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. You need to wait till 7th Dec and if the periods do not start till then go for a pregnancy test.
If the test is positive then to terminate the unwanted pregnancy you can use unwanted kit.
It is best to use this kit under the expert guidance of a gynaecologist as it is often associated with complications like excessive bleeding and incomplete abortion. You will have to search a gynaecologist near your place for guidance.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX

When I mentioned 18th day of Menstrual cycle it was 21st Nov by calender date.
So 1st day of Period is 3rd Nov and 21st is the relation date.

How long do you think I should wait before testing?

Brief Answer:
Less chances of pregnancy on Day 18.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If you had unprotected sex on 21st Nov then the chances of pregnancy are less than 10%. You need to wait till your periods are overdue by 5 days to check your urine for pregnancy.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
