After Delayed Periods, Is There A Chance Of Pregnancy?

Dear doctor. My period has been late . Was suppose to come between 7 - 15 of each month. My last period came on the dec 15th 2013 and it lasted for around 7 days. Had the first intercourse on dec 22nd 2013. Is there any chance i could be pregnant? I do have history of irregular period in the past. Please advise me, I m so worried.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Of course, with unprotected sexual intercourse pregnancy is a certain possibility; but with your history of irregular menstrual cycles this could still be a normal delay. I would recommend a home pregnancy test using an early morning urine sample after 2 weeks from the sexual contact.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
