default
Posted on Mon, 9 Nov 2015
Question: My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex 1 day before her period was supposed to start. I didn't ejaculate inside her though. She didn't get her period but has the signs of her period (cramping, etc.) but no bleeding. She has had this before where she has the signs but no bleeding. she has an irregular period where she has it or doesn't at all for that month. what does this mean? Could she be pregnant?

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy very unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The chances of pregnancy when you ejaculated outside and just one day before her expected date of periods is very unlikely.
The delay in periods can be due to stress and anxiety or a mild hormonal imbalance. To be sure it is best to check her urine for pregnancy 10 days after the date of unprotected sex.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
