Does Delayed Periods Suggest Pregnancy?

So here is my dilemma. I was due for my period on the 23rd of December but have yet to get it. I had sex on the 25th of December and we used protection however the condom kept sliding up and I am not on the pill. The last time I had sex prior to that night was about 8 months ago (my boyfriend is in the military) but I’ve been getting my period since. This is the first time I have had a miss period. My question is could I have gotten pregnant that night or any of the other nights we were together and would that result in the fact that I’m a week late?

Hello dear,I.understand your concern.In my opinion if your cycles are regular the 25 th of December comes under safe period.So there is less chance of pregnancy.If the cycles are regular we cannot predict the safe and unsafe periods.As your period is missed consider doing a urine pregnancy test a week after missed period.If the test is negative the chance of pregnancy is rare.Avoid stress as it can also delay the period due to hormonal imbalance.So relax and check for the period.
