What Causes Delayed Periods After Unprotected Intercourse?

I was fertile the 4-10th of this month and ovulated on the 9th and my boyfriend ejaculated in me twice on the 8th & 12th. I was expecting my period on the 23rd of this month but I started bleeding on the 20th. I m confused & worried & mostly relived that I might not be pregnant but I was looking it up and it said it could be implantation bleeding and it start 6-10 days after ovulation and I started bleeding 10 days after my ovulation.

Hello,

Since you had unprotected intercourse during the fertile period, the possibility of conceiving seems to be very high. Implantation bleeding could happen after 6 to 10 days following ovulation and fertilization. You need to wait for a week after your due date for periods. If the delay is more than a week, kindly take urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly.

If the periods happen anytime during this time, it states that you are not pregnant.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
