What Causes Delayed Menstruation After Protected Sex?

I had PROTECTED sex with my boyfriend a couple of times last month. He also says he s infertile with only 2% chance of conceiving (diagnosed 8 months ago). BUT now my period s late for 1 week. I went to the doctor this morning and had a urine test. It turned out negative. She just told me to wait and see what happens in 2 weeks. I had breast pain yesterday. It went away today, but I had a lot of white clumpy discharge. These usually are signs I m having my period. Should i be worrying this much? I ve been really stressed worrying about this.

Hi, I have gone through your query and understood your concern.

You should have mentioned what was the way of protection during sex. I take it that it was condom.

Condom if used properly has got more than 98% success. Moreover, your boy-friend seems to be having problem in his fertility power. So the chances of pregnancy seem to be very poor.

One week after the missed period also, your urine pregnancy test is negative. Usually these tests are reliable after 8-10 days after missed period. So you may get another urine pregnancy test and/or ultrasonography done after 3-4 days. This will make the picture clear.

Mostly the reason for your delayed menses seems to be stress and tension of unwanted pregnancy. There are very easy ways of terminating the unwanted pregnancies now. So please manage your stress and you might get menses.

I hope you are relieved of your tension.
