Answer
Hello, Alam,

Please know that I am female.

You should be able to test for pregnancy by now, and you should be experiencing symptoms. If you aren't experiencing anything at all, then it seems unlikely. You should be noticing growth and tenderness in the breasts. Also, most women require more sleep and have more appetite. (Not everyone gets morning sickness.) Also, you shouldn't have been fertile on the 29th of September. That would be unlikely. It seems much more likely that the contraceptive pill upset your cycle.

If you are pregnant, I advise you not to do anything at all, except take care of yourself. Any methods you could use to do something about it are very dangerous and could take your life or cause you to become disabled. It could also harm your future children, or make it much more likely you will get breast cancer. There are all kinds of problems. Even taking the contraceptive pill was unwise.

If it turns out you are pregnant, I recommend you find an organization in your area that can help you with the problems you face. These organizations provide counseling, help with finances and medical care, furniture, clothing and supplies for the baby, and adoption help. To find one near you, go here:

Please take care of yourself and stay safe. Let me know what you find out when you test.
