Late Period: Medical Causes and Solutions

Having sex close to your period may pose a pregnancy risk because the sperm can last in the body for a few days. You're most fertile around ovulation, but it's hard to tell the exact time. If you miss your period or have symptoms like nausea or breast tenderness, you may want to take a pregnancy test. 

After sex, it usually takes 1-2 weeks to tell if you’re pregnant but sometimes there are signs like nausea, tiredness, or changes in appetite which occur when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the womb. To make sure though, take a home pregnancy test; it’s easy and will give you an answer.

It is normal for girls to not have­ their period some time­s. The big reason is often change­s in hormones. Stress, losing or gaining weight fast, and too much e­xercise can all cause misse­d periods. Living a healthy life and not be­ing stressed can help. If you are­ worried, it is good to talk to someone you trust, like­ a parent or the nurse at school.

It is essential to note that unprotected sex could cause unwanted pregnancy and there arise the possibility of getting sexually transmitted infections. The change in menstrual cycle might be a result of hormonal imbalance, which in this case should be evaluated and treated by a gynecologist. A gynaecologist should be consulted for a thorough examination of the issue and a range of suitable contraceptive methods should be discussed.
