Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Before two months, I had protected sex on the 13th day of the cycle, and my partner also ejaculated outside the condom. There was no leakage. I got my regular periods after a month. It started on the expected date and were slightly more massive. They lasted for the average duration, and the bleeding was also usual. But this month, I was waiting for the periods around the same day, but it was about seven days late now. Why am I not getting my second menstrual cycle regularly after having sex? I have white discharge and feeling of periods. But there is no bleeding. Why is it not arriving? I am worried. Can it be an ectopic pregnancy? If it is ectopic, how is it possible to get my periods after intercourse? What will the pregnancy results show now?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you have got your periods after intercourse, there is no chance of pregnancy. The delay could be because of hormonal changes. However, if you have a doubt, then get yourself checked by a gynecologist and get a pelvic scan done to rule out the exact cause.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
