Hi
October 20, 2014 - 11:17amI had unprotected sex a day before my period due date, the next day i experienced what I thought could have been my period but I am unsure. My periods are usually very heavy and painful for the first day and then the pain dies down but is still quite heavy. This time it was very light and appeared a brownish colour at times. I am unsure if I could be pregnant or when I should/can take a pregnancy test

Hey I am Neha! I had unprotected sex before 2 days due date of periods. As he came inside me so I had ipill before 12 hrs. I was supposed to have periods on 4th and till now I did not get my periods. I am having as such no symptoms of pregnancy, only had legs pain for 2 days after ipill intake. Do I need to worry or is there any chance of pregnancy.

Hi Payal,
Even though it causes worry, a period that is 8 days late is not a concern in and of itself. Can you tell me when the first day of your last menstrual period began? What day were you expecting this period to begin? Are you taking any hormonal contraceptives (pill, ring, etc)?
Women's cycles can vary from month-to-month, and you said your cycle is irregular. Why are you concerned this time? Did you have unprotected sex recently?
Many reasons, besides pregnancy, can cause a late period, including medical conditions (thyroid) as well as medications. Are you using any medications as treatment for your thyroid?
A pregnancy test, taken once you have missed your period, is very accurate. If your period still has not started in another 7 days, you may want to take another home pregnancy test, but it is not necessary.

Hi Alison,
April 29, 2010 - 3:54pmThe first day of last period was 20th March. If my period is any month regular then it usually happens on 30th to 35th day. I am on thyroid medications and from last 2 months i was getting regular periods. This month after having unprotected sex it did not happen and that is actually causing worry to me. I was relieved to see a negative result as I dont want to get pregnant but someone told me that I could still be pregnant and need to take another test a week later.

I can see why you are a little worried, since you are on about Day 41 of your cycle. This can be completely normal, but you do have a chance of pregnancy with unprotected sex.
Depending on when in your cycle you had unprotected sex, if it has been less than 2 weeks ago, then a pregnancy test may not detect the pregnancy hormones yet. If your period still does not begin in 7 days, it would be wise to take another home pregnancy test and/or to call your doctor.
Sorry to tell you that the only option is to wait...I know it's easier said than done. Would you like information on birth control options, so that you don't have to deal with the stress of worrying/waiting next time? We're happy to help, as many of us have "been there" and I know it's emotionally exhausting to wait another week.

Hi my name is Shyam. Me n my gf had a unprotected sex but I am sure that I remove every time when I feel like cumming. During that month my gf suffered with fever and took lot of antibiotic pills n painkillers . She Lost her weight and s ick for 10 days . Now she is delayed her periods for 7 days. She used to get the periods regularly . Please advise is the delay in petiods is due to sex or due to sickness .
