The herpes medications and the stress of illness are both known to disrupt a cycle. Pullout is not a reliable method, though pregnancy risk depends on timing relative to ovulation.
Next Steps
Take a home pregnancy test now with first morning urine. If negative, retest in 7 days. If no period after 6 weeks total, a gynaecologist consultation with a hormone panel will identify the cause.
Health Tips
Please do not use "period-inducing" tablets without a prescription.
