Pregnancy is unlikely if you used condoms consistently and correctly. However, even when used perfectly, condoms can fail. Condoms are more liekly to fail when they are used incorrectly.

There are many different factors that can affect menstrual cycles. Increased stress, illness, a change in weight, exercise or diet, and new medications can all cause changes in the menstrual cycle.

Wait another week. If you still don’t get your period, take a pregnancy test. Repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or get a positive result.

If you are interested in starting a hormonal method of birth control or would like more information on correct condom use, please contact one of our offices for an appointment.
