Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Having sex on the expected date of periods is not likely to cause a pregnancy as it is a comparatively less fertile period of your cycle.
Since your periods are overdue now, you need to get a urine test done to find out about the pregnancy. In case the test comes negative then there is nothing to worry. The delay in periods could be due to stress, anxiety and mild hormonal imbalance.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
