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.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

View allI have a 28 day cycle, but today is the 31st day, and I have not yet gotten my period. We have been trying for a baby for the last few months. Is this missed period a sign of pregnancy? After how many days of a missed period should a home pregnancy test be done?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
My periods started on 2nd June. On 22nd June, I took an emergency contraceptive (ipill) after unprotected intercourse. My next period was expected on 3rd July, but it did not come, so I took a home urine pregnancy test on 11th July evening, which was negative. For the past two days, I have been experiencing very dark spotting. What could this mean? Could I still be pregnant, and should I test again?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
Hi, I am 22 years old and unmarried. I had unprotected anal sex once and took Unwanted 72. That month, I had spotting first and then got my period. The next month, I had protected intercourse using a condom, and the next day I got my period. Now, I have not gotten my period. I had very light dark brown spotting. Is there any risk of pregnancy? I took a pregnancy test 15 days ago, and it was negative.
