Is the first menstrual period after the first sexual experience delayed?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:
I and my boyfriend had sexual intercourse at the beginning of this month. We took contraceptive measures. My menstrual cycle has always been regular, coming every 17th day of the month. However, it hasn't arrived yet this month. Is it possible that the first menstrual period after having sex for the first time could be delayed?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, everyone's situation is different. Generally, sexual activity does not affect menstruation. If you are not using contraception, it is best to have an early pregnancy test. A woman's ovulation date is usually about 14 days before her next menstrual period. If you have sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, there is a possibility of pregnancy.
