What Causes Delayed Periods After Unprotected Intercourse?
I had unprotected sex with my wud be on October 5th ...my last periods was on Sep 12-15....Now after this I missed my periods expected on Oct 12 and when I did the test on Oct 13, the result was shown negative. Doctor prescribed Devry tablet and ensured that my periods will get back in 15 days. I am having PCOD and am having thyronorm 50mg since last year. In this case are there any chances that I can be carrying? If yes when should I take my next test and what can be done for getting rid of this?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
There is less chance of the pregnancy as you did sex in the safe period of the cycle.
Just one day delayed period by one day not signifies the pregnancy.
You have to think about the period when your period will delayed period by the 8-10 days.
Pregnancy test will give positive result after 8-10 days of missed period.
Pregnancy test after 1 day of delayed period give false negative result.
So if period will delay by 8-10 days then go for pregnancy test.
Your period could be delayed due to PCOS or thyroid status.
Progesterone tablet will helpful to induce period in abasence of the pregnancy.
Avoid stress, do regular exercise, and loose your weight if you are obese,
eat healthy diet.
Hope this may help you
