What Causes Delayed Periods?
I m 15 . Started my menstrual cycle when I was 11-12. My cycle has usually been irregular and I have been sexually active. Some months my period comes late. On June the 26th my partner and I tried to have sex using a condom but it didn t work well and we stopped. The condom did not break. My period was suppose to arrive (28 cycle) June 28th and hasn t come yet. Should I be concerned? Or reasons why it is late?

Hello,
When you start having menses initially they are irregular because they are anovulatory, not forming eggs. So don't need to worry for that . Within 2-3 years they will get regular. If don't then go for some tests.
About sex and pregnancy, this is least likely that you will get pregnant as you had sex on 26 the day of the cycle. Just for safety get your urine pregnancy test done.
I hope this helps.
