Is it true that when you first have sex it can cause your period to be 2 or 3 weeks late?


Question Posted Sunday August 15 2004, 10:54 pm

Hey, i hope someone can help me out. I'm gonna try and make this as short as i can. I'm 17 and me and my boyfriend just recently became sexually active the 17th of July. We had sex about 3 times and used protection all 3 times. The condom did not break and i'm pretty sure about that because we checked. My last period was on the 6th for like 3 days and i normally have a full 7 day period. It was a little weird. I had sex "after" my period and it was my first time. Anyway, today is the 15th and i still haven't started my period. I have had irregular periods before but i'm just really worried. I have taken two pregnancy test in the past two weeks and they both have came out negative. They weren't cheap tests either.. (E.P.T Certaincy) I've been really.. stressed out about this situation. I've lost sleep and i think about it day in and day out. The only time i never really think about it is at work when i'm busy. Could i be just stressin my self out and causing my period to be late? I'm really confused.. some people say that when you first have sex it can cause your period to be 2 or 3 weeks late. Is that true? I would like to hear from someone about this please. Thank you.

if you're both using protection, there's really nothing to worry about. the odds of a condom failing if used absolutely correctly, nothing super-freaky, are less than 1%. any difference in that percentage is due to stupid people, so don't worry about it. the odds of, say, the pill or the patch failing are about the same, maybe a little more. combined, the odds of both failing simultaneously are minimal.

so, if you aren't already on birth control, i suggest you do so.

changes in your period after having sex are normal. my entire schedule changed when i first became active. it's even normal to skip a period as your body is going through many changes. somewhat rare, but not at all unheard of.

STOP BUYING THOSE TESTS. wait at least a week, and if your period still hasn't come, consult a doctor or even a medical website about the best route to take from there.

as you may well know, there are only approximately 2 days a month in which a girl is even capable of becoming pregnant. so a good idea in the future is to try and focus more on sex during the week after your last period, and the week before your next one is due. the week between these is generally the one containing the yellow-zone, but having sex days before your period is almost assuredly a good route. still, use protection, though.

I'm pretty sure you are not pregnant, just stressed out. You actually answered your own question, you have irregular periods...It's great that you use protection!

You're probably just stressed out. Stress can screw with your period. You're probably fine!

If you're still stressing about it, you can talk to a doctor, and they'll be able to reassure you, but I'm pretty positive you're not pregnant =)

If you've had your period since you've had sex,don't worry. You can actually control your period by stress,so relax,you're not pregnant. Plus the tests said you weren't,so you're not. But is it worth it to have sex with this guy if you're gunna stress out everytime?

Hey..I think your just stressing and thats the reason for your irregular period. Yes, i have heard from somewhere that when you first have sex it can cause your period to be 2-3 weeks late..its commonly due to stress because girls worry about being pregnent just like you are. Its a good sign that your tests came out negative. Give it a little while longer, if your period is still kinda weird and your still worried, talk to your doctor. Its all confidential with your doctor..mom and dad will never know. Thats the best way to go. I think when you hear from the doctor that your fine..you`ll stop stressing finally.
good luck, and im glad to hear you used protection! :)
