Can Delayed Periods With History Of Having Unprotected Sex Indicate Pregnancy?

Hi doc. Is sex can delay period? Because until now I don't have. And i stop taking pills and we're not using any contraceptives and my husband don't do withdrawal. Last month It was on 24th. I'm 3days late now. Is there a possibility that I'm pregnant? Should I wait for more days? What should I do doc?

Hi,
If you have always had regular 28-30 day cycles even without the pills, you can suspect pregnancy now; if this is the first month after stopping pills, you may expect some menstrual irregularity as ovulation can get delayed. So, please wait for 3-4 days before you take a home pregnancy test with a fresh early morning sample of urine. If you wish for an earlier and better confirmation, you can get the serum beta-hCG levels assessed coupled with a trans-vaginal sonogram. Hope this helps.
