Why Delay In Periods When Having Protected Sex With Light Spotting?

Okay here is my issue, my period is approximately two weeks late but I have been having protected sex (condoms) about twice a week every other week for the past month. However sometimes they slip off or are loose. I am still a fairly young adult so sometimes my periods are not on a set schedule like clockwork, they vary about 5 days. I havce taken 3 pregnancy tests over the past week and they are all negative. Today I experienced very light spotting, not enough to fill a regular tampon, and didnt feel any cramping like i usually do when I am on my period. Could this be the start of my period? or something else?

Hello,

The pregnancy possibility is very low in your case based on the fact that you had protection during intercourse. There are many other causes for delayed menstruation such as hormonal imbalance. I suggest to do a gynecological ultrasound and hormone levels for further evaluation.

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