Hi and thanks for the query,
the commonest cause of missed periods in a woman of reproductive age is pregnancy. You did a pregnancy test already which tested positive. With a past history of unprotected sex, absence of periods with the positive pregnancy tests are therefore diagnostic. Its true that there exist some false positives at times, wait to see whether you start experiencing sympathetic signs of pregnancy or not. Or if very anxious, consult a gynecologist for blood BHCG sensitive tests to be done or an obstetric ultrasound.
thanks and hope this helps,
Luchuo, MD.
