Brief Answer:
Delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) If you had sex in the middle of her period ( meaning during bleeding of menses) means it is safe period and there is no chance of pregnancy.

2) Hence this is just a delayed period and not pregnancy.

3) Wait for another week for periods to start.

4) If you are anxious and want to confirm, get serum beta hCG blood test done to confirm pregnancy.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya

Since she was on 2 nd day of her periods there is absolutely no chance of pregnancy.

No need to do any test.

Wait patiently for a week. She will get periods.

Stress related delayed periods.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There is no chance of pregnancy.

If you are anxious to get periods you can opt for taking progesterone tablets. Or else you can wait for for some more time. Due to tension it is possible that periods are delayed.
