My girlfriend’s period is 6 days late. We had sex on the 29th day of her cycle and she supposedly get her period on 30th day

Before this intercouse, the last time we had sex is on the first day of her period previous month. Is there any chances she got pregnant or is it just a skipped period?

Hi, thank you for reaching out to us.

We understand your concern regarding this matter. For your information, a normal woman will have her mentstrual cycle between 21 to 34 days meanwhile the menstruation (bleeding period) usually lasts between 2 to 7 days.

Regarding your concern, we are unsure whether she is pregnant or not because we need to know her full menstruation history for the past few months and further investigation need to be done.

There are few causes why a woman can have delayed period, such as:

  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome
  • Stress or emotional distress
  • Hormonal instability
  • Pituitary gland or thyroid disorders
  • Usage of medications
  • Pregnancy

Is your period late than usual? Get a confirmation to see whether you are pregnant or not.

This is only our general impression why she is having such issue. Further investigation and assessment by a doctor need to be done so that the cause can be identified and treatment can be given if needed.

If you are still unsure, you may ask your girlfriend to do a self pregnancy test to see whether it is positive or negative. If it is positive (double line), see a doctor to make a confirmation whether she is pregnant or not.

If you have further inquiries, do not hesitate to contact us at (DoctorOnCall) to talk to our doctors regarding the issue. We will value your privacy. Thank you.
