Late Period After Possible Pregnancy: What Should I Do?


Question
Hi there I sure hope you can help! I'm Jenney!
On 5-14-04 I had unprotected sex ( we used the pull out method, he did pull out and most of it did go on the sheets) I was supposed to start my period on 5-16-04 (i'm on the pill my period usually starts on the day it's supposed to come or the next day), it's now 5-19-04 and still have not started my period. I have a daughter who's 13 months old i'm a single mom and I really am not ready to handle this again (in the heat of the moment I completly lost all sense of responsibility)!
So i'm wondering if having sex that close to my period would cancel out my period for this month or would I get my normal period (it just may be late) and then next month not get my period if i'm pregnant, and if I do get my period should I assume that i'm not pregnant or wait till next month to be sure?
I don't want to take a pregnancy test because i'm sooooo scared, but this waiting it out thing is driving me crazy too! I would love any info. that you have for me, thank you for your time, I can't wait to hear back from you!

Answer
I re-read your question after sending it, and noticed you are on the pill.  This changes my answer.  I am sorry to confuse you more.  I am replying at 6 am, I guess I am not quite awake, please forgive me.
If you are on the pill then your chances are very low if you have been taking them correctly.
Did you know that when you are on the pill it is normal to have your period anytime during your reminder pills?
You are not late until you have started your new pack!
Good luck to you and again, I am sorry to have confused you more.
If you have started your new pack then you should take a test to be sure.


You need to take a test.  The pull out method the way you used it is not effective at all.
The only way the pull out method works is if you are calculating your cycles and not having any intercourse the whole week you are fertile.
I think you certainly have a chance of being pregnant.  Take the test and know for sure.
Good luck to you.
