Could A Delayed Period After Unprotected Intercourse Cause A Pregnancy?
I am 31 years old. I have taken Apri birth control pills. I did not take my last active pill in week 3. I did not have any withdrawal bleeding and haven't had any bleeding at all. I had sex with my bf on day 14 counting from day of last pill taken. We did not use anything and he ejaculated. Can I be pregnant?

Hello Dear
Your concerns are very genuine. According to the timeline you mentioned,there are chances you might have ovulated and with unprotected intercorse you might have conceived.
Get a serum beta HCG done. Its a blood test to detect minute pregnancy. Value more than 25 confirms pregnancy and less than 5 rules out pregnancy.
If the pregnancy test is negative,progesterone withdrawal will induce periods.
Hope this helps.
