Menstruation
Hello Doctor,
I am 23 years old. I took an i-Pill in late March and had withdrawal bleeding on 3 April. Since then, I have not had a period.
I had protected intercourse on 24 May and 31 May with an intact condom. I took a pregnancy test 21 days after the 24 May encounter and 14 days after the 31 May encounter; both were negative.
A gynecologist prescribed Primolut-N for 5 days for my delayed periods.
Given these negative tests and protected intercourse, is it safe to start Primolut-N, or should I repeat a pregnancy test first?
Thank you.
