Is Pregnancy Possible After Having Menstrual Bleeding Post Intercourse?

Posted on Mon, 23 Oct 2017

Question: I had unprotected sex in July. I had my period in July (two weeks later) and in August. I am a week late for my period in September. I am 46. I have not taken a pregnancy test yet. Could I be pregnant or could this be the start of menopause?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (35 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Can be due to perimenopause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since you had periods twice after having an unprotected sex pregnancy is not a possibility. The delay in periods now could be due to changes in hormones related to menopause. No need to worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

You can get your serum FSH levels evaluated to find out if it is related to menopausal hormonal changes.
