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?
