Hi doctor,
I had intercourse around five weeks back, which was the fifth day of my period. My cycle lasts only four days every month. During the intercourse, there was an ejaculation so I had to take an emergency contraceptive pill.
After that, I got my periods around the same time this month. This time, I had intercourse when it was the fourth day of my period. However, protection was used and no ejaculation happened, but I am worried about a particular point when my partner did not wear a condom. My period ended yesterday night. Should I take a contraceptive pill again?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I fully understand your concern and I will surely help you out.
Look, for getting pregnant, the sperms have to be released inside the vagina of the female. The sperms then need to fertilize an egg which may or may not be available depending upon the ovulation pattern of the female. The fertilized egg is then required to be implanted in the uterus of the female.
In your case, since it was the fourth day of your period so most likely, you were not ovulating. So, pregnancy is not likely, 99.9 %.
There is just less than a 1 % chance of pregnancy, for which you may consider taking the contraceptive pill.
