    Is it normal for periods to be late for 10 to 15 days? Or I should fear?
    My periods date is 9 or 10 and now it's 20 and still there are no signs of period. Is it a normal thing or I should fear of getting pregnant? I don't wanna get pregnant and want my periods to start soon so that I could take a breath. I can't even take pregnancy test due to some problem. Please suggest me some medicine or home remedy for it. I'm in a big problem.

    It is possible for periods to be late, even to miss one, for no reason. However, if pregnancy is a possibility you will have to take a pregnancy test. There is no home remedy to start your period.

    You will have to take a pregnancy test using first morning urine.

    What exactly are you doing to "not get pregnant"?

    Is there a reason why you can't take a pregnancy test? Are you able to buy one where you live or only see a doctor for one? If the possibility of becoming pregnant would be of great concern, you should consider no longer having sex until a possible pregnancy would not be a problem.

    It would be best to check for pregnancy before making a decision to take anything.

    The conditions are not in favour of taking test at home or to meet a doctor right now.. if I could take test or meet the doctor then there is nothing to worry

    Could you take a test at a trusted friend's house? I've known a few women who purchased a test and took it in the restroom of the store out of concern of someone at home finding out that they were testing. They would even purchase a home test at a store in another location so no one at a local shop would see them buy it.

    Have you taken the medication for an abortion before? Do you know what it does to your body? Best to check for a pregnancy first, but you will do what you feel that you need to do. I wish you well.

    You can only get pregnant for several days after having sex IF you happened to ovulate at that time or within a few days after the sex. The egg can only be fertilized for about 24 hours once released... sex a few days later, or too many before, and you won't get pregnant, as most sperm will only survive for a few days. In other words, you won't get pregnant if the sex and ovulation are weeks apart.

    As was said, periods can be off for a number of reasons besides pregnancy. You will either have to take a test or wait and see if you have a period next month. If still no period, see your doctor to try and determine a reason.

    Does my description makes sure that I am not pregnant??

    Only way to know for sure would be to take a test, however, if you were to be pregnant from the sex on the 24th of September, it would be likely that you would have been experiencing some other type of pregnancy symptom at this point. If the sex on the 24th was the only sex that you have recently had, and you had a normal period in October, odds are that you are not pregnant.

    Again, if your periods have always been regular until now, and you don't have a period for December, (and the one for November was not the norm for you), it would be wise to test or see your doctor. There would be nothing unusual to see the doctor about having irregular periods... it happens. The doctor will likely do a pregnancy test as routine, but no one needs to know that you had one done as part of the visit if that is your concern.
