How Long After Having Late Periods Can I Take A Pregnancy Test?

I was intoxicated last night and had unprotected sex last night and I am not sure if he finished or not, but I am on the birth control pill. I take the pill everyday but not exactly at the same time everyday. I am due for my period on Thursday and I was wondering if I am pregnant will I miss my period that soon, or will I have to wait until next month to see if I am pregnant or not.

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I I think I have understood your concern . I will suggest you the best best possible treatment options.

Please do not panic.
If you are regularly on oral contraceptive pills , then you need not worry about pregnancy.

If you are not sure about regular intake of the pills, then you can get mornings first sample of urine tested for pregnancy as soon as you miss out on your periods. The usual pregnancy test kits are quite good at predicting the pregnancy.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
