“One night about a month ago, my boyfriend and I were drunk and had sex. He didn’t use a condom, and I’m not on any birth control. My period was almost two weeks late. Could I still be pregnant or am I in the clear?”
If you had a normal menstrual period, it is unlikely that you are pregnant. A bigger concern is, were you exposed to a sexually transmitted infection (STI). If you are going to engage in sex, you and your partner need to be tested for STIs and you should consider talking with your health care provider about contraception options. Using condoms will both reduce the risk of an unintended pregnancy and will protect against getting an STI. Most health departments offer free latex condoms and will even give instructions on the proper care and use of condoms.
