ask: I had unprotected sex a few days before last months period. Now Im late
I had unprotected sex a few days before last months period. I had my period as normal and it started on the 6th July, however it was lighter than usual and only lasted a few days. It is now the 11th August and i still havent come on my period, having said this my periods are quite irregular. I know its unlikely to become pregnant as you are most fertile 14 days into your cycle, however I am still worried as my periods are so irregular. Please help me by giving me your thoughts.

When you have your menstrual period, it means you do not have a viable pregnancy.
So, if you have not had unprotected sex after your period that began on July 6th, then there is not a possibility of pregnancy.
If you are worried about the chance of pregnancy, even after you have your period, have you looked into your options for birth control? Either going to the Gynecologist to talk about using the pill or other hormonal contraception, and/or using a condom every time you have sex? It really isn't worth this stress and worry, right?

So you had unprotected sex on the 28th, and were expecting your period the next day, do I have that right?
My guess is that you are just late. There is always a chance of getting pregnant during unprotected sex, but since this was so late in your cycle, that chance is very slim. The appetite thing may be partly due to hormones or PMS -- do you sometimes feel this way when you are getting ready to start your period?
Don't stress too much. Give it another few days and see if your period comes. If not, you can take a home pregnancy test just to be sure. But I'm guessing you won't need to.
Are you planning to use birth control in the future? Do you need information about it?
October 1, 2009 - 9:00amMy last period was aug. 17 ive had unprotected sex ever since that day.. I missed my period last month which was sep. right now i have sore breast a little bit of cramping and i seem to never get enough sleep.. i took plenty of pregnancy test and they were negative.. im getting impatient to find out if im really pregnant or not..!

Sounds like you should make an appointment to see your doctor and have a pregnancy test in her or his office. If your last period was August 17, then you're more than two weeks late, right? Home pregnancy tests detect the levels of the pregnancy hormone HCG in your urine. Either your levels are too low for the tests to detect, or you're not pregnant; either way, you want to know for sure! Can you make an appointment to see your doctor?
