Hello dear
I understand your concern
De;yed period is most common by the pregnancy after having unprotected sex.
Your last period date is 13th august.
Next expected period date :10th September
So your cycle is of 27 days.
If it is regular then ovulation will occur around at 26th -27th august.
So according to my you have did sex on the 8th September and it is safe period.
During this time there is no ovulation so no fertilization will occur so no chance of the pregnancy.
Your delayed period could be due to some other reason like excessive stress, change in dietary habit and life style, hormonal imbalance.
Wait for the period to come.
If period will delay by more than 2 week then consult the gynecologist and undergo blood HCG, reproductive hormone analysis and examination.
Meanwhile avoid sex, eat healthy diet, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise.
In absence of pregnancy period can be induced by the progesterone pill.
Hope this may help you
