What Causes Delayed Period And Vaginal Spotting After Having Unprotected Sex?
I spotted two weeks ago for a few hours, and now my periods 5 days late with no signs of it coming. Normally I m terribly sick with bed riding cramps and migraines. My boyfriend and I have not used protection for the past month like fools, but he has not released in me. Everything I google, it says cancer, pregnancy, or death.. I just want someone to tell me what they think. I know it d be too easy to take a test, what do you think?

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1 ) First of all do not panic. Don't get confused with Internet information and medical knowledge. You are right in asking on medical advice here.
2 ) with the history of unprotected sex act, and delay in the periods, please get mornings first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. If it is negative, then you need not worry about the pregnancy.
3 ) Even If you are pregnant, you can opt for termination of pregnancy with medicines safely till 9 weeks of the pregnancy.
4 ) your spotting can be due to cervical polyp or cervical erosion, or simply because of some hormonal changes. USG will be helpful to know about it further.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
