What Causes Delayed Periods, Extremely Light Brownish Discharge When Had Protected Sex?
Hi, Im a 16 year old girl and i had complete protected sex with my boyfriend on the 21rst of december. We used a condom and there were no tears/rips/slips (This was made sure, since the condom did not leak after use.)
My cycles are usually 29 day cycles. My period for that month, finished on the 8th of december. My next period was sue on the 29th of December. However I am 5 days late!!! Today (day 5) I had extremely light brownish discharge. I try to go to the bathroom frequently to urinate and see if my period has arrived. Is it late due to stress or am i pregnant?!?! This would be my second period which has come late. The first period that was late was only by two days.
Stress can definitely affect your cycles.Do not worry.
Brownish discharge could represent beginning of your periods. I would suggest you to wait 5 more days for your periods to return. Incase you have missed your periods by 10 days,it is advisable to take a urine pregnancy test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
