What Causes Delayed Menstruation And Fatigue Post Protected Intercourse?

Hello doctor. I am 22 years old. I had Protected sex 21 days ago, and at that time my period was supposed to come after 3 days, but my period did not come. I took the test today in the morning and it was a clear negative, i am NOT having any symptoms of pregnancy like morning sickness etc, but i tend to sleep alot more than usual. My periods are late sometimes, to a maximum of 4 days, but i have never missed a period like this before. I have had weird vaginal dicharge twice in these 21 days, like once i felt like i am having a period, but when i checked, it was discharge rather than blood. Can i be pregnant?

Hi,

1. periods can be delayed sometimes because of so many reasons like stress, polycystic ovaries, thyroid disorder and increase or decrease in weight.
2. as you said that you have checked with home pregnancy test kit and it was negative then you are not pregnant.
3. you can take norethisterone tablet 10mg twice a day for 3 days then stop.

You will get your periods in 5-7 days of stopping the medicine. As this, medicine works to regulate your periods and maintain hormonal imbalance also.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
