Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Missing birth control pills and having unprotected intercourse always carries a risk of becoming pregnant.
Since your description says, your periods are delayed and you had cramps and spotting, pregnancy definitely needs to be ruled out.
Kindly get the following tests done and consult Gynecologist with the report for appropriate management.
1. Urine Pregnancy Test.
2. Serum beta-HCG levels.
3. Transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) of pelvis.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
