Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 18 years old. I want to ask about having sex after periods because I am so worried my mother and father will find out I am pregnant. I had sex today after my period and it was from the past two days.
Kindly advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Pregnancy usually occurs when sexual activity is practiced without protection, during the fertile period. You can estimate your fertile period using the calendar method. If your menstrual cycle is regular, then ovulation occurs 14 days before the next anticipated period. So, around that ovulation period, one week on either side is fertile period. As you had sex just after your period, it is unlikely to cause pregnancy.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
