What Causes A Late Period, Bleeding, Abdomen Cramping, Dizziness After Unprotected Intercourse?

My last period was on late 26/27th April.. I had unprotected sex on and around 4th May. Today I am 8 days late but a couple of hours ago I have started bleeding, not much and very light in colour and only seems to be when i go to the toliet rather than on 'pad'... Ive been having strange and cramp like feelings in my abdinom and Ive been feeling slightly dizzy...
Does anyone have any ideas?

hello

delayed periods with abdominal cramping & light spotting could be present in early pregnancy but they can happen in other conditions also .sometimes cramping &spotting can occur just prior to normal periods


since there is history of unprotected sex & ur periods r delayed I would advise you to do home urine pregnancy test with first morning urine sample.

if pregnancy diagnosed, spotting can be due to implantation bleeding ( it is normal light bleeding at 5 to 6 weeks due to implantation )
or ectopic pregnancy

if Test line is lighter than control patient need urgent gynaecological check up. bhcg & ultrasound pelvis may also be required if she suspect ectopic pregnancy

if Test line is equally dark in color as test line patient is pregnant

hope this answer all your queries
