: If you have any concern, get a blood test for HCG level to settle the issue. If you have not had a period for 8 weeks and it was due to permanency and ultrasound examination would be useful. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
