What Causes Delay In Menstruation After Having Protected Withdrawal Method Intercourse?

Hi, I have been worried I am pregnant. I had sex about two weeks ago, but I didn t keep track of my period. he used a condom and pulled out before ejaculation. I believe I should be expecting my period now, however it is yet to come. I have experienced cramps, and I have also taken three negative pregnancy tests. Could I be pregnant?

Hi,

Reliable pregnancy test is only after 8 days delay in periods. A protected sex with condom on and withdrawal at ejaculation has rare chance of conception except for the semen has escaped in vagina while withdrawing. The delay in such a case could be due to psychological stress. Wait patiently for periods and do pregnancy test after 8 days delay in periods. Consult doctor if test turns positive.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
