Why Are My Periods Delayed Despite Sexual Inactivity?

Hi there. I am writing to you in regards to my period. This is the story: September 21st was the last time I had sex. I got my regular/scheduled period on September 22nd. I am on the hormonal IUD and he even used a condom. For the entire month of October, I did not have sex. However my October period is 7 days late. Is there any chance I am pregnant?

Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Usually following  hormonal IUD insertion symptoms like change in menstrual cycle, cramping & on & off bleeding /spotting , abdominal/pelvic pain, headache/migraine, back pain etc are common. These symptoms will settle within 6months.

I advice you to,
- look for the expiry of the effective lifespan of the device
- consult your gynaecologist for a USG pelvis in order to locate if there is any pathology & also for further assistance.

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

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
