Does Delayed Menstruation After Sexual Intercourse Indicate Pregnancy?
I am in a doubt if my wife is pregnant as it s 16 days now since she has missed her period. Her normal periods date is around 30th of every month. But she s experiencing irregular periods especially after marriage (got married 7 months ago). We had a sexual intercourse on Dec 26, 27, 29 and 30. We had this without any protection for the first time since our marriage. Can you help me in clarifying my doubt? Should my wife conduct a pregnancy test now?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes delay in menstruation after unprotected sexual intercourse on multiple occasions (Dec 26, 27, 29 and 30) should indicate pregnancy in your wife. However as your wife has been suffering from irregular period therefore delay in her periods could be related to some hormonal problem like thyroid disorder, or ovarian disease like PCOS leading to delay in periods.
Therefore you should get a pregnancy test done to confirm that you are pregnant or not. Pregnancy test could be easily done at home too. Get a pregnancy kit from market. Follow instructions on pack. Presence of 2 lines on test means you are pregnant.
If you are not pregnant you should consult a gynecologist for treatment of irregular periods
Refer to a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
