What Causes Delay In Periods Post Unprotected Sex?

Had unprotected sex, on 24th day of her cycle. Used the pull out method, and did not ejaculate inside. Normal 28 day cycle, but known to be late sometimes. She is currently 3 days late, do you think she is late because of stressing over possibly being pregnant, or is there a good chance she is pregnant?

Hello
Welcome to Healthcare magic

Pullout method is proper but not near perfect. Because some secretion may occur before and after ejaculation which may contain sperm and can cause pregnancy in some cases and such cases are recorded in past so use protection whichever is suited to you.

24th day is probably safe period for unprotected sex but not 100% perfect because your cycle may very some times due to various reasons including stress factors also

So need not to worry and always use protection.
Take care and have a healthy life ahead...
