Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 18 years old. I had sexual intercourse. We used contraceptives like a condom. But the condom got broked. I do not know whether the sperm has gone inside. I washed my genitals quickly after knowing that the condom has got broken. I took a pregnancy test, and it came negative. Can I put my trust in the pregnancy test or should I have to consult a doctor? Is it possible to get pregnant in two days after having sexual intercourse?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If you had intercourse around 10th to 17th day of your cycle, and if you have a regular menstrual cycle, then the possibility of conception increases with each day within that period when the condom has broken. In this situation, you can take an emergency pill within 72 hours of sexual intercourse to avoid pregnancy. Sperms can stay alive in the vaginal tract for up to seven days whereas the egg remains available for fertilization for 24 hours. In conception, you have to wait for at least a week to get a positive pregnancy test with urine dipstick. Serum beta hCG can be detected earlier, but you have to wait for a few days. You do not need to go to a doctor. Just repeat the urine pregnancy test after two weeks or get a blood pregnancy test done.
