Periods are late
I have been observing some irregulaties where my periods have been getting delayed the last few cycles. This month i was expecting my periods on 8th of December. I still do not have my periods with occassional cramps in between past few days. Assuming that I am past fertile period and would get my periods anyday because of the occassional cramping, I had sex and my husband pulled out for contraception. This was 3 days back. As I still do not have periods and only cramping, wanted to comfirm if there is any risk of pregnancy?

Since cycles are irregular. You need to first rule out pregnancy.
Then check for hormonal issues or any other causes with ultrasound.

Since your cycles are irregular, ovulation timing can be unpredictable, so pregnancy risk cannot be ruled out, even though withdrawal was used. Cramps can occur before periods or in early pregnancy.
Please do a urine pregnancy test after 5–7 days (or 14 days after intercourse) if periods don’t start.
If negative and periods are still delayed, connect on consultation

With irregular cycles it is impossible to predict the days of a valuation and your chances of getting pregnant
Since you are already late on your periods you can do a pregnancy test now
if negative you can take a medicine to help you get a periods
