Answer
Hello Erica,

Please ask your physician about this. But I would think that in a couple of weeks from now, you would be getting your normal cycle back. See what happens in a couple of weeks and then test. Or you could ask a pregnancy resource center this question and when you could take a pregnancy test. I would recommend abstaining from sex right now if you don't want to get pregnant. Get your regular cycle back and get back to normal. Oh, to find a pregnancy resource center (they give free pregnancy tests and advice) go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If not in U.S. then go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Please email me back in a couple of days and keep me updated. My email address is DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
