Does Delay In Periods Indicate Pregnancy?
Hi, I am looking for advice regarding my period. I had unprotected sex around December 19th and took a period from the 6th of January. My next period was due on January 31st but is now 5 days late. Could i be pregnant despite having a period in January?

Hi,
No it is not possible that you are pregnant, if you had a regular period after the unprotected intercourse.
Period can have a delay of upto 7 days which is normal.
But you should consider a effective method of contraception, which can prevent you from having so much headache and worry .
You could consider regular oral contraceptive pill or condoms ,which have an added benefit of protection from STD as well.
Hope this helps.
