Q. My period is due in three days. Is there still a chance I can get pregnant?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, you need to know the safe period concept during which you can even have unprotected sex and it does not cause pregnancy, but it is for regular 28 days cycle.

A menstrual cycle is calculated from the first day of your period to the first day of the next period (1). Safe period is from day-1 to 7 and day-21 to the rest of the cycle when you can have sex without worrying about getting pregnant.

This period will not be the same for all women as it depends on the length of the menstrual cycle. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days or a little less, but if your cycle is longer than 28 days, the safe period is not reliable. It does not depend on the duration of intercourse, whether ejaculation was done at the time of the act or not.There is less chance of being pregnant but confirm that you have a regular 28-day menstruation.

If exactly you had 27 days regular menstrual cycle, then there will be no chance of getting pregnant. Even if you had unprotected sex or even ejaculation was done at the time of intercourse.

For better understanding, ovulation will occur exactly 14 days before menstruation. The fertile period will be exactly during that week of ovulation.

So, you do not need to worry much.

If you had complaints of irregular menstruation then this will not count.

Then better to go for blood investigation to confirm.

If you had 27 days regular menstrual cycle, it comes under safe period. You will not get pregnant. There is no chance of pregnancy during those days. If you had an irregular menstrual cycle this will not be applicable. In that case, you can wait for next menstruation.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
