What Does Late Period Indicate?

Hello, im 17 years old and im a female.
I had sex with my boyfriend on the 4th December, we used protection but I have a feeling like maybe he touched me with pre cum on his hands, is it possible for me to get pregnant? My period is 5 days late now and im panicking, this month has been quite stressful becauae of school. I also take antibiotics for like a week now and I have a flu, could this be why my period is late besides pregnancy ? Please help me , thank you

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Late periods can be due to many reasons:-
1 Pregnancy- If your boyfriend touched or fingered inside your vagina with semen on fingers, this may cause pregnancy & can delay your periods
2 Stress- Excessive stress can cause hormonal imbalance & cause delayed periods. As you have been under excessive stress, this could also be the reason of delay of your periods
3. Some hormonal problems like thyroid disorders, Over-eating, obesity, diseases of pelvic organs can also cause late periods

As you are 5 days late on your periods now, you should first rule-out pregnancy by doing a pregnancy test.

For more queries consult a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
