I'm feeling a bit worried about this. Is it okay to take medicine for a fever while I'm on my period? Could it mess with my cycle at all?

CBC Report Analysis: High RDW and Normal WBC Count

Results:

  1. RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width): 14.8% (High)
  2. MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume): 86.1 fL (Normal)
  3. WBC Count: 6,800 cellsL (Normal)

High RDW:

  1. Indicates variation in red blood cell size: High RDW suggests a larger range of red blood cell sizes, which can be a sign of:
    • Iron deficiency anemia
    • Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency
    • Anisocytosis (uneven red blood cell size)
  2. Not always a cause for concern: High RDW can be seen in healthy individuals, especially if other CBC parameters are normal.

Normal WBC Count:

  1. Indicates a healthy immune response: A WBC count of 6,800 cellsL is within the normal range, suggesting your immune system is functioning properly.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I got my period on April 12th and ended up having unprotected sex on the 5th day, which was April 16th. Just to be cautious, I took a pill on April 18th, within the 72-hour window. Then on May 3rd, I started bleeding again, but it wasn't as heavy as my normal period and went on for 45 days. I had all the usual period symptoms like cramps and back pain. Now I'm not sure if that was withdrawal bleeding or if my period just came early. Todays the 20th and I still havent got my period, assuming that previous bleeding was withdrawal. Is there a chance I might be pregnant?
