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,

Pregnancy could be the reason you have not gotten your period. Time to take a home pregnancy test.

As long as your period started, there is nothing to worry about.

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. Depending on the length of your menstrual cycle, you would have ovulated a week before, around October 22.

If your period is late by at least seven days, test for pregnancy. You could use an early response test and check as early as this Friday.

I had protected sex 8 days before my period. I am also on the pill but the week before having sex, I did not take the pill at the same time (I forgot by a few hours). Even being on the pill, my period is currently 3 days late. Is is likely that I am pregnant?

Hello jilljack599,

Thank you for your question. It all depends on how late you were in taking the pills. One hour or two would be okay, but I can't say the same if you were late by six or eight hours.

I am hoping that by the time my reply reaches you, you will have started your period.

Regards,
Maryann

I had sex on the 13th September, then my period came on the 15-19th September, it's now 20th October and I'm 5 days late (cycle length is 30)
Is it possible to be pregnant now?

Hello Anonymous,

Have you had unprotected sex since your last period? If so, take a home pregnancy test.
