Is Pregnancy Possible Due To A Delayed Period Caused By Unprotected Intercourse?
hi :] I'm kara. And I had sex with my boyfriend. we had unprotected sex. So I was worried. therefore he got me a pill like an hour later after we were done. I got my period in about a week or so. But then right after my period, I had sex with him again. he said that he didnt. and I believe him. But this month, I had my period twice. and usually I get my regular period during the end of the month. So far I didnt yet. and im suppose to this week. am I prgenant?

Dear Kara,
At the outset, let me advise you that you should not rely on 'no ejaculation' or withdrawal method of contraception. Before ejaculation, some pre-ejaculation secretions (precum) are expelled which contain some sperms. These sperms are sufficient to impregnate the woman. However, since you got period after the second intercourse also, you are not pregnant.
As far as your first intercourse is concerned, you have taken a post coital pill within 24 hours. So you are protected from pregnancy. These pills have following after effects:
1. They can cause some bleeding few days later. It is normal.
2. The following period may get delayed by few days to a week.
This would explain you the 'secret' of your two 'periods' in this month.
I hope this clarifies your doubts.
