Hello doctor,

My last period was a month ago, and I had unprotected intercourse four days later. My period started five days ago but lasted only three days. I still feel nauseous and want to know if pregnancy is possible.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You had unprotected sexual intercourse on the ninth day of your menstrual cycle. The fertility period is between the 11th and 17th day of the menstrual cycle. Considering the above, it appears unlikely that you will get pregnant unless there is a wide variation in the ovulation time and date.
