Can periods get delayed by 21 days due to pregnancy?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Pregnancy is possible if you feel you had unprotected sex around the time of ovulation. This type of bleeding is seen in early pregnancy, implantation bleeding, or even threatened miscarriage. All you need to do is complete a urine pregnancy test with an early morning urine sample. Even if the bleeding has happened, blood hormone levels will not just disappear. Another possibility to be thought of is anovulation. If you have a hormone imbalance, it will interfere with normal ovulation patterns, and periods can get delayed for days or months, or years.

Common causes for this:

1. PCOD (polycystic ovarian disorder).

2. Thyroid or prolactin abnormality.

3. Severe physical or mental stress.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
