What Could Cause Delayed Periods And Cramping After First Time Sex (protected)?

Hi, I am a guy and recently I had sex with my girlfriend, I was wearing a condom and we were careful, I even pulled out before I finished. But, she said she is a few days late with her period and she has cramping. Is this from hitting her cervix? Also this is the first time we had both had sex.

Hi there ....

Thanks for writing in .

There are many causes of delayed pregnancy , of which the common ones are pregnancy, anxiety.

If the periods are delayed by more than 1 week to 10 days, get a urine pregnancy test done.

I understand you used a condom, and used the pull out method, so chances of pregnancy are less, but not impossible.

If she is anxious that she might be pregnant, anxiety can also delay periods.

The abdominal cramps should subside. A tablet of buscopan might help.
Let her drink warm water at regular intervals.

Does she have any burning urination/increased frequency of urination?If yes, It is also possible that she might be having a urinary tract infection. Get a urine routine test done to look for evidence of UTI.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
