What Causes Delay In Periods After Having Intercourse?

I am already a week delayed. I was supposed to have my period last nov.3 -5. I am not feeling any symptoms of being pregnant except from having delayed period.The last time we had sex is last oct 24. I was just so worried and paranoid of this situation. Is it possible that I am pregnant?

Hi.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Missed period after unprotected intercourse can be due to pregnancy. It is not necessary that pregnancy would cause symptoms, sometimes missed periods are only symptom of pregnancy.
Delayed period due to hormonal disturbance or excessive stress is also possible, but as you had unprotected intercourse you should first confirm whether you are pregnant or not.
You should do a Urine pregnancy test with first urine of the morning.

Consult a gynaecologist for further queries.

Hope this information helps
