What Causes Delayed Periods After Unprotected Intercourse?
I was fertile the 4-10th of this month and ovulated on the 9th and my boyfriend ejaculated in me twice on the 8th & 12th. I was expecting my period on the 23rd of this month but I started bleeding on the 20th. I m confused & worried & mostly relived that I might not be pregnant but I was looking it up and it said it could be implantation bleeding and it start 6-10 days after ovulation and I started bleeding 10 days after my ovulation.
Since you had unprotected intercourse during the fertile period, the possibility of conceiving seems to be very high. Implantation bleeding could happen after 6 to 10 days following ovulation and fertilization. You need to wait for a week after your due date for periods. If the delay is more than a week, kindly take urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly.
If the periods happen anytime during this time, it states that you are not pregnant.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
