Doctor, I had unprotected sex 3 days before my period was supposed to start. He did not finish inside. I had spotting for 4 days but no full period. Date of intercourse: 14th, Period date: 17th, Spotting started: 21st, Little extra blood flow on 24th, Spotting stopped: 25th. Pregnancy test was negative, checked on 27th. Can you please tell me what the issue might be? I have regular periods with medium flow always. I also have a healthy lifestyle. I have been travelling the past week; other than that there are no other issues.

Based on your timeline, the chance of pregnancy is very low, especially since sex occurred near your period and there was no ejaculation. Spotting without full period can happen due to travel, stress, or hormonal shifts. A negative pregnancy test 13 days after intercourse is usually reliable. If your period doesnt return in a few days, repeat the test or get a blood HCG to confirm. This kind of temporary delay is fairly common.

I usually have a 26 day cycle. I am taking medicine for pregnancy and last month the doctor gave me progesterone Susten after egg rupture. Last month I got my period on 7th. As per my cycle, I was supposed to get my period this month on 3rd, but I still have not got it. Usually, I see brown spotting two days before my period.
