I'm a bit worried because my girlfriend was expecting her period yesterday, but it hasn't come yet. She recently lost her virginity, and we're wondering if that could be the reason why it's late. Could this be affecting her cycle, or should we be concerned about something else?

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.

Turmeric water is not a reliable method for preventing pregnancy. It does not have any contraceptive properties. If you are looking for effective contraception, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss suitable options such as birth control pills, condoms, or intrauterine devices.

My doctor suggested I take Deviry tablets, 10mg, two tabs a day, but there's still no sign of my period. This has never happened to me before. Could I still be pregnant somehow?
