Brief Answer:
Please do home pregnancy test if periods do not happen by 17 to 19 XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. Pregnancy in general is a matter of chance and depends on many factors starting from ovulation and sexual participation of both partners and culminating in the fusion of egg and sperm.
2. Some women might have a pregnancy within 2 months and some might take 6 months when taking clomiphene. Therefore there is a possibility of pregnancy if you miss your periods this months but we can never be sure without doing proper tests for pregnancy.
3. Since you are expecting your periods right now and having cramping, if your periods do not take place even after a week to ten days from today that is by 17 to 19 XXXXXXX then please do a home pregnancy test.
Hope your query is answered.

Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. Home pregnancy test is accurate when done at least 15 days following sexual interourse that might be favorable for a pregnancy.
2. Therefore keeping in mind the ovulation dates, this duration falls around a week after the missed periods.
3. I have suggested doing it after at least a week so that it is confirmed accurately and also allow a week if your periods are delayed due to stress.
