A member asked:

Withdrawal method last month before period came. now, this month period 5 days late, neg test. was on avelox last week for flu. preg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Any episode of unprotected intercourse could potentially lead to pregnancy. Withdrawal method is the least effective way to prevent pregnancy. Check another pregnancy test in about a week if your period has still not started.
