Can missed period after sexual intercourse mean pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a teenager and I had sex for the first time 2 weeks ago and now I am worried that I might be pregnant. We used a condom but I am not on birth control or anything else. I have had irregular periods for some years now so I do not know if missing my period would be a sign of pregnancy. Also, after a day we did it, my period came but I am not sure if it is related to the fact that I lost my virginity or it was my actual period so now I am really scared to wait another 2 weeks or who knows, maybe a month or two. I cannot talk to any adult and I really need a specialist’s opinion on this.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

For a young lady the only way to check for your chance of pregnancy is blood test. A lady can have a bleeding vaginally, when her hymen membrane rupture. Clinically we see bleeding, which can be mild spotting to heavy bleeding. As you mentioned that you have irregular cycles, exact date of ovulation cannot be guaranteed. Simple way out is 15-20 days after the sexual contact have a serum beta hCG test. Even the earliest of pregnancy can be detected. As you had used condom, chance of pregnancy is low. But blood test is confirmatory.
