I'm really worried because i'm 9 days late

Dear Problematic_me,

You have said you had your periods on May 24th. If you had sex 4 days before that only! then you are safe. 

Bleeding in periods means that the inner lining of your womb is shed and incidentally that is the place where an embryo (very early baby) gets implanted.

Your eggs are released from your ovaries around the 14th day of your cycle ( in your case around 8th-10th June). Semen can survive in female genital tract for about 5-6 days. So If you had your periods AND IT WAS AS USUAL IN TERMS OF COLOR AND AMOUNT it is safe to say theoretically that you are not pregnant.

But there is a thing called cycle irregularity. So it is better if you can do a simple over the counter urine pregnancy test. It usually becomes positive after day 6 if you are pregnant.

Hope this helped.

Dear problematic me...
What I meant was if you guys had sex only 4 days before your periods and you had your periods you would be safe. But you had sex 4 times each seven days apart that month. Then dear problematic_me there is a high chance of a pregnancy because that time you had sex near the middle of your cycle would fall right in the middle of the most fertile period of your cycle. So the best you could do is get a pregnancy test done asap.

Thanks

Sameera
