A member asked:
On average, how long does stress delay a period? when should i worry about pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With unprotected sex: Anytime you have unprotected sex -- meaning without condoms or another form of birth control -- pregnancy is possible. In fact, pregnancy is the most common cause for missed menstrual periods, although menstrual cycle can vary from month to month sometimes. If you've missed your period by a week, I suggest a home pregnancy test.
