Now a month later, im waiting for my period to come and im getting really bad cramps and it was supposed to start on the 26th but it hasn't come yet, could I be pregnant?

OB & GYN Specialist, Dr. Rishma Lakhani's Response

Hello,

Did you take any medicines after unprotected sex? I would advice you to get urine pregnancy test done and if negative get a sonography done, to know the exact cause of delay in periods. Taking medicines could have caused hormonal imbalance and thus delay in periods.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rishma Lakhani, OB & GYN Specialist
