What Causes Delayed Periods?
Question: Dear Doctor my girlfriend and i havent had sex before until 30th may..She was expecting her period on the 28th may but didnt see it..we had unprotected sex the first time on the 30th but i didnt ejaculate inside her..she took 2 tablets of postinor 2 at the same time like 3hrs after..her period is not still in.should i be worried?
Brief Answer:
Do urine pregnancy test
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir thanks for trusting health care magic.
There are nil chances of her being pregnant by the act of coitus on 30th as her periods were due on 28th.
The delay of periods in her case can be due to several reasons like stress, new exercise schedule or altered eating habits.
But still do a urine pregnancy test to rule out a pre-existing pregnancy; which if negative wait for periods for a week more.
In case she still doesn't get her periods visit your gynecologist for her examination and laboratory tests.
All the best for everything.

we both havent been sexually active until the 30th..is it possibke the postinor may have caused this delay? and taking the 2 tablet at the same time..is it effective? thankyou
Brief Answer:
not related to pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, her periods were late already by 30th may when you had contact for the first time so the reason might have been minor causes but taking postinor increased the delay further because it contains progesterone.
So in my opinion you should wait for another week and then in case she still doesn't get her periods visit your gynecologist.
I hope I have answered your question but im case you have other questions I will be happy to help.
