What Causes A Delayed Period, Breast Tenderness, Cramping After Withdrawal Intercourse?
I have been on birth control for menstrual cramps for a year now. I took one month off. I had been back on pills for 2 weeks when my boyfriend and I had sex. He pulled out without ejaculating. My period was due on Sunday so I am wondering where it is??? I have been experiencing breast tenderness and cramps but no blood yet. I am on voltaren for a possible back fracture but nothing else

Hallow Dear,
If you started your pills again after 2nd day of the menses, protection against the pregnancy cannot be guaranteed.
Pull out technique is very unreliable method of contraception. Though the penis is withdrawn before ejaculation, pre-ejaculatory secretions (precum) gets deposited in the vagina unknowingly. Precum does contain some sperms which can cause pregnancy.
Breast tenderness does support the possibility of pregnancy.
Voltaren should not affect the regularity of your menses.
Now you may confirm the status of your pregnancy by one of the following options:
1. Perform pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample about a week after missed period; earlier the test may report false negative.
2. You may opt for Beta hCG test on your blood. Values above 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy while in non-pregnant state, the values remain under 5 mIU/ml.
I hope this helps you.
