hello,
Ovulation occur two weeks prior to the onset of the next period unless there is a luteal phase defect when it can be shorter. Thus, the period when she had intercourse was safe and the chances of conception are almost nil. In the current scenario, a HPT should be done to exclude/confirm pregnancy along with a clinical evaluation by a specialist. A trans-vaginal sonogram would be of much use to know the status of the pelvic organs. Stress, sudden weight changes, certain medications, infections and hormone imbalances can cause period disturbances. Hope this helps.

Hi,
As she got her period even 2 days late after sex and she had no sex afterwards and had sex during safe period, there is less risk of having pregnancy.
There might be having some other reasons like tension, stress or some hormonal disturbances.
But to be on safe side go for urine test for pregnancy to rule out pregnancy.
Ok and take care.
