Hi A,

Did you use protection? Either way I would suggest that you either go and buy a pregnancy test or book your appointment at the doctor, as missing a period is one of the common signs of pregnancy. To put your mind at ease, I would try to find out via one of these methods.

If you are not pregnant then perhaps take this as a learning exercise that either you or your boyfriend should carry protection, such as a condom around with you for when the mood takes you.

If you both enjoy having a drink when you are together it might be wise to speak to your doctor about other forms of contraception. The pill, the injection or the implant might be better options for you, if you find that sometimes remembering a condom or putting one on is becoming something that neither of you prioritise. There obviously may be times that you are not covered, such as with your break in your pill packet or if you are suffering from sickness and diahorrea, so make sure that you are clued up on whichever one you choose if that is what you decide.

If you are pregnant, then talk to your doctor and then your partner about the different options available to you. The first step is finding out either way.
