What Causes Delayed Period After Having Protected Sex?
Hello I am a 20 year old. I had my period March 23 and lasted about 7 days. It s now been a month and no period. I had sex two times in March with a condom before I got my period. Could I still be pregnant? Or could it be due to all the family drama going on. Or something else?

Hi,
In case there was no leakage or breakage of condom both the times and you did not have sex other than the two mentioned here, there won't be possibility of conception. In case of doubt, you can exclude pregnancy by home pregnancy test with aseptically collected urine sample in boiled container. Yes. Any type of physical or psychological stress can delay period.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
As you had protected sex, there is negligible chance of you being pregnant. Moreover, you got your period after having sex so, you might not be pregnant. Sometimes periods will delay due to the following:
1) Hormonal imbalance
2) Extreme stress
3) Thyroid dysfunction
4) Polycystic ovarian disease
Most of the times delay in periods is very much normal and you don't need to worry. You need to consult a gynecologist only if:
1) Irregularities in periods occur for more than 3 months
2) Very heavy bleeding including clots
3) Missed periods for more than 2 months
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
