Is It Normal To Have Heavy Period After Intercourse?

Hi, I had protected sex with my boyfriend 3 months ago and missed my next period. The following month I had a very heavy period. Then this month I was 2 weeks late and had very light bleeding for 2 days. Is there any way I could be pregnant with a missed period, then a heavy period, and then a light late period. We have not had intercourse since.

Hi there.
I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1. First of all please do not panic.

2. As per your history, if you had your periods after the episode of protected sex act; you were not pregnant in that cycle.

3. Now also , you have 2 weeks delayed period.
And you did not have sex act in this cycle. So there is no question of getting pregnancy.

4. If you are concerned that you were pregnant in the last cycle in which you had delayed period and heavy bleeding, at present there is no way to detect it as on now.

5. I will suggest you to get USG done to rule out PCOS as a cause of your delayed periods.
Also, please get proper sex counseling done, proper use of suitable contraceptive method will help you prevent unwanted pregnancy .

In my opinion use low dose birth control pills will helps you to prevent the pregnancy and have regular cycles.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
