Yes, it is possible for periods to be delayed after losing virginity due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. However, it is important to rule out pregnancy as well. If pregnancy is a concern, I recommend taking a pregnancy test. If the test is negative and the delay continues, you can consider taking medications like Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) under the guidance of a healthcare provider to induce menstruation.

Question 2

I'm trying to understand my recent Total BhCG quantitative report after our first IUI attempt. It says 1.2 mIUmL, and I'm a bit confused about what this means. We've been trying to conceive naturally for four years now, so this is all quite new to me...

Accepted Answer

Total B-hCG quantitative report of <1.2 mIUmL indicates a negative result for pregnancy. The level of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the blood is typically detectable in early pregnancy, with levels rising as the pregnancy progresses. A level of <1.2 mIUmL suggests that there is no detectable hCG in your blood, indicating that the IUI procedure did not result in pregnancy this time.
