It depends. There is testing that screens for fetal chromosomal problems after 12 weeks. If that is not done it is usually able to be determines during an ultrasound at 18 – 20 weeks. READ MORE
Menstural period?
Yes, you can call your doctor. Since you already had a plan to start birth control if it happened again they may be able to prescribe it over the phone. READ MORE
Related to virginity?
The hymen is located in the vagina and tears during the first time having sex. It causes some pain and bleeding. Many girls and women can have the hymen torn is a different way so the fact that bleeding does not occur does not mean a woman is not a virgin. I recommend your friend seek counseling to deal with this trauma. READ MORE
What blood tests are done during pregnancy?
There are several done at different times during the pregnancy. At the beginning a blood type and antibody screen are done along with CBC (complete blood count to check for anemia, etc.), HIV, hepatitis B, rubella, RPR to check for syphilis, and a screening test for carriers of certain diseases and chromosomal problems with the fetus are offered. Later in the pregnancy testing is done for another CBC, RPR and glucose tolerance test. There are other tests which are not blood tests. READ MORE

Good practice is to wait until one normal cycle and then began trying to conceive if ready. This allows for more accurate dating of the next pregnancy. READ MORE
