Hi Doctor, I have irregular periods, so it is difficult to calculate my menstrual dates. I had intercourse on 21st, and my last menstrual period was on 19th. When should I take a pregnancy urine test to get an accurate result?

If your periods are irregular, it can be hard to calculate the exact date to test. Since you had intercourse on 21st, you can take a urine pregnancy test around 14 to 21 days after that date to get an accurate result. Since your last period was on 19th, and if your period has not yet come, it is appropriate to take a test now. If the test is negative and your period does not start within a week, repeat the test or consult your doctor for further guidance. As serum Beta HCG test can help confirm the diagnosis.

Take a BETA HCG (TOTAL) Test or Take a URINE PREGNANCY TEST (CARD METHOD) Test

I have used Sevista 60 mg from 26th June till 11th August. I am not having periods though my pregnancy test report is negative. How long should I wait for my periods to come? If I want to have sex, will I start Overal L again in this situation? Will Overal L give me protection against pregnancy? Will it take months or days for my periods to normalize since I stopped Sevista on 11th August? In the absence of periods, if I start Ovral L, will it prevent pregnancy?
