My period is 8 days late.

I believe that most people know that sex during menstruation is very likely to cause infection, so most people avoid having sex during this period. However, if the menstrual period is delayed and does not come on time, can men and women still choose to have sex? What effects will it have on women’s bodies?

Can I still have sex if my period is delayed?

There is no connection with the condition where the menstrual period is sometimes delayed once or twice and there is no discomfort. It may be affected by the external environment or one's own emotions, stress and nutrition are often related. It is best to rest more, eat less spicy food, maintain a happy spirit, avoid mental stimulation and mood swings, and don't be too anxious.

Contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse, whether you are pregnant can be delayed by waiting for the menstruation, and you can find out by testing with early pregnancy test strips in 5 to 7 days. You can also have a blood test. If you are pregnant, you can check it from the blood within a week of having sex. The success rate is very high.

It is necessary to determine whether you are pregnant immediately. If you are pregnant, it is best not to have sex in the first three months because the fetus is unstable and the embryo is in the development process, especially the connection between the embryo and the mother's uterus is not yet inseparable. If you have sex, it is likely that due to poor posture or excessive mental excitement, the uterus will be vibrated, which can easily cause the embryo to fall out and lead to miscarriage.
