What are the possible causes of menstrual delay in a female who had unprotected intercourse during her fertile period?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex 25 days ago. I was fertile at that time, but my boyfriend did not ejaculate. My last period was a month ago, and I had ovulation two days after intercourse. I also had unprotected sex a week ago, but my partner did not ejaculate. The problem is that I did not have my period this month. Why did my period get delayed?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Although your partner pulled out before ejaculation, there are chances of pregnancy because sometimes a small drop will make the result positive. I suggest you wait for some time as you had sex during the fertile period. If you do not have a period, I suggest you undergo a pregnancy test.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, and take care.

Regards.
