Can unprotected sex four days after periods cause pregnancy?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex after four days of the period this month. He did not ejaculate inside but I am not sure about pre-ejaculation. Within an hour after intercourse, I took unwanted 72 and I had bleeding for only one day. Is there a chance of pregnancy or not? Is it withdrawal bleeding? My mensuration cycle is 30 days. Does it come under safe days or not?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you have taken the emergency pill within 72 hours of intercourse there is no chance of pregnancy. Yes, you had intercourse during your safe period, which is from day 1 to 10 of your period. Yes, the bleeding is withdrawal bleeding. There is nothing to worry about. So relax and do not worry. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I read on the internet that in a regular cycle of 28 days, days 8 to 18 are fertile. So in my case, does it come under safe days?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It does come under safe dates. So relax and do not worry.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

After unprotected sex, how many days later can I take the pregnancy test?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Once you have missed your period, in a day or two you can take the urine pregnancy test done with an early morning urine sample to ensure that you are not pregnant. I hope you have got a clear idea now. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Can I take the test before my period date? I am so tense.

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No, do not do the test before your date. And do not worry so much. There is no chance of pregnancy, as you had sex during your safe period.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have done a pregnancy test three days prior to my period's date and the result is negative. I got my period on my actual date. My question is I am surely pregnant or not?
