Hi,

After having intercourse already you had your menstruation. So you have not convinced. If conceived your immediate menstrual cycle should be missed but that did not happen here.

Now one day late period may be due to hormonal fluctuations and stress also causes that. You can wait for few more days, of still not getting then go for testing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
