If the hormones produced during sex change your cycle, then how can a sexually active woman ever have a normal cycle? That makes no sense. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I don't see how that's logical.

To OP: As it has been said, lots of things can affect your cycle. Is it possible you are pregnant? Yes. Is it possible you are late because you are getting sick or you are stressed out? Yes. Have a test done to confirm one way or another, and then ask your doctor to put you on birth control. If you are going to be sexually active and don't want children right now, it's best to take precautions. Remember though, even being on the pill isn't a 100% guarantee you won't get pregnant, but you will decrease your risk if you use the pill and condoms.

Q. Will masturbating affect my period?

A. Masturbating will not have any effect on your cycle. Any form of sexual activity can bring your menstrual cycle earlier, and for some women ease menstrual cramps, because your body relaxes during sexual activity, and during orgasm, your uterus may experience some contractions. Your menstrual cycle is controlled by hormones that work in rhythm every single month.

See, it can bring your period earlier, not delay it. I got this from Menstrual Cycle FAQ in case you want to know anything else about the menstrual cycle.

not always, just the first time you experience it... new hormones = changes... also different sexual experiences can change your cycle at times.

Everyone has different opinions on this LOL. Bottom line, go see your doctor!

I would guess you are not pregnant. Most home tests are accurate enough, but your dr can rule it out. How old are you? Cycles can change at different points in our lives for no real reason, periods can stop altogether again for no real reason, or for a reason you haven't though of! Pregnancy is not the only reason you don't have a period. Being underweight or overweight to a high degree can cause your whole bleeding to stop, and yet still give you all the cramps and aches and moodiness! But you need to see your dr to find out what is going on for sure.

Nautical I think what that FAQ is referring to is if you have sex/orgasm it can induce your flow; so if you would have started on Tuesday, but had sex on Monday, your flow might come Monday night. Either way, you've pointed out that it will not cause your cycle to come later.

alkaline, OP already said this wasn't her first time... and I'm not sure how a different sexual experience would induce or prevent your flow...

Whatever.

Consensus says: go to a doctor.

Jillian - I never said it was her first time, and I saw that she said it wasn't her first. I was arguing the point that it is possible for sex to alter a period. If you look back I already made a comment informing her what to do in her situation.

My apologies; your post:

not always, just the first time you experience it... new hormones = changes... also different sexual experiences can change your cycle at times.

Indicated you were still considering this as her first time.

The comment you quoted was in response to this... Like I said, an earlier post of mine already acknowledged that I understood it was not the girls first time, but I am finished arguing with you people over mute point. I take a lot of time researching my responses and have been posting honest and true answers here for a long time. I don't want to be a jerk either, but as I said earlier, it is pointless for us to go back and forth on this, as it is different for each person - different bodies- , there will never be an answer on that particular subject. The Posters original question has already been answered.

Which if you notice, alkaline is why I apologized; because I misinterpreted your post.

You're right, this is a "moot point" and it should be let go.
