I'm 17 and I am suppose to get my period at the end of the month I usually get signs like cramps and stuff but I haven't and its nearly the end of May. I have been sexually active with my boyfriend but we used protection and the last time was yesterday and we did it a couple of times before that, is it possible it can alter my period for when it comes?
Hi there... :)
If you used protection then i dont think your pregnant. But yes sexual activity can alter a woman's menstrual cycle. eg: even if a woman is in the middle of her period and has sex her period will lighten and even stop entirely for a day or so and then come back as normal and go for the rest of the expected duration, if you had sex with your partner recently then that has probably contributed to your period being a bit late.
Your period can be a funny thing, they can be early and late all the time even if u have spent most of your life getting it on the exact day your supposed to. you shouldn't worry to much about this however if 1-2 weeks weeks pass with no sign what so ever of a period from the expecting date that is when you should either take a pregnancy test if you have been sexually active or see your doctor as there could be something more to it that your unaware of weather its serious or not its always good to be sure.
Best Wishes :)
