hello,
thank you for using healthcare magic,
if you had intercourse on your fertile day with out using any birth control method then there are high chances of being pregnant.. after week also if you dont get your periods check with urine pregnancy test.. however do not trust its result completley it can show false result in early stage.. you can go for more confirmatory test like beta hcg level or ultrasound..
periods can get delay because of any reasons other than pregnancy .. stress is most common reason.. cold weather does not affect menstrual cycle..
in future use birth control method like condom or o.c. pills.. IUD will be good option for you because you already have two kids..
in case you use to fail any birth control method you can take emergency pills after unprotected sex within 24 to 72 hours..
hope this helps you,
Regards,
Dr.Nehal..

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

You can get blood HCG or UPT test done for pregnancy.
Delay in periods could be due to stress and hormonal variation.
You can use contraceptive measures to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
You can wait for few more days, if your periods doesn't starts you can take progesterone for 5 days, on stopping this medication, causes bleeding as withdrawal bleeding.
Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
Dr. Vidya
