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.

Hello Anonymous,

Has this ever happened before? Did you have unprotected intercourse since your last period? If so, there is a possibility that the spotting on October 26 was implantation bleeding.

If you do not get a period this month, take a home pregnancy test.

Hello Anonymous,

There is a good chance that you were ovulating when you had unprotected sex on October 20.

If your period is late by at least one week, take a pregnancy test. You could also use an early response pregnancy test this weekend.

Hello Anonymous,

Since you had your period, premenstrual cramping and any concern of pregnancy can be ruled out.

Abdominal cramping can indicate a gastrointestinal problem.

Are you having any other symptoms, such as diarrhea, constipation or increased gas? Is the cramping constant or does it come and go?
Does anything relieve the discomfort? Do you have cramps on both sides of your abdomen?

If the cramping continues or worsens, please consult your primary care physician.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello Anonymous,

You are not pregnant because you got your period. It doesn't matter if I came two days late. How long do your periods normally last?
