Hello doctor,
I am 23 years old and, my weight is 112 lbs. I had unprotected sex a day before I got my period (on the 38th day of cycle). It lasted for four days (normal). Today is the 13th day from when my period started and I am getting bad backache, my breasts hurt (usually happens just before period) and sticky egg white discharge. Am I pregnant or is it ovulation? I had taken a pregnancy test before I got my period because I was late and it was negative. I have mild PCOS. So, my periods are never on time but happens every month. Is it possible to be pregnant after you get your period?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your history and understand your concern. This is very unlikely to be pregnancy as a proper period followed and when UPT (urine pregnancy test) was negative just before the period. So, you are at present not pregnant and no chances of pregnancy even with that last unprotected intercourse. The nature of discharge is suggestive of ovulation only. However, if still any doubt in your mind you may take two pregnancy tests - one immediately now and another after a week. If both are negative, you are not pregnant.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Is it possible that despite my really late ovulation last month, it is on time this month, that is, just nine days after my period has ended? Is it because of PCOS?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
A female with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) has usually very irregular cycles and because of that their ovulation date is also not predictable. Most of the cycles are anovulatory, so irregular periods. Therefore it may happen an early period this time and as you are taking stress also it may prepone but chances of getting a delayed period in this month also is more likely.
