    When you have sex for the first time can it delay your period?
    When you have sex for the first time can it delay your period? I have quite a thick discharge in my pants but don't know what's triggering it. Can anyone help?

    No. The actual act of sex does not delay your period. Pregnancy does, so does illness, weight loss, weight gain, stress, medication, and a number of other things.

    But having sex for the first time does not delay your period.

    How late are you?

    Okay, so you completely missed a period?

    Well, some women don't get a positive pregnancy test for months. In fact, some women never get a positive with a home pregnancy test, even in their 9th month of pregnancy.

    Since you're 4 weeks late I'd try testing again, make sure to use first morning urine.

    If that test comes back negative then it's time for a more accurate blood test.

    I am fourteen and I have never had my period. I have had sex. Could sex be the cause of my absent period?

    Not likely.

    One thing to consider though. You will ovulate before you have a period, even your first one. It's very possible that you could get pregnant never having had your first period.

    Wait another week. If you still haven't gotten your period try a pregnancy test. If it's negative wait a few more weeks and test again, or wait until your next period is due and if you miss that go to your doctor for a blood test.

    That's really all you can do. No form of birth control is 100% so every time you have sex pregnancy is possible.
