Period was due feb 27. i had intercourse march 1st. i was having cramps that felt like my period was coming but its 5 days late. can sex have delayed?

No: Sex does not delay a period. They cycle is determined by ovulation date. If your period does not come, i would do a pregnancy test. Most likely the symptoms you are having are premenstrual.
