Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My girlfriend is having light cramps and today she observed slight spotting. Her last two menstrual cycles were 32 and 37 days long and her last periods started a month back. We engaged in unprotected intercourse one week later once with us stopping and taking protection in between. I did not ejaculate inside her. We are concerned about a possibility of pregnancy.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can help you with this. With the history I think her periods are a little irregular. The time of sexual intercourse is not much near her ovulation time and if you have not ejaculated inside, the chance of pregnancy is very rare. If you have had no unprotected intercourse thereafter, and if she by chance had become pregnant, urine pregnancy test should show positive by now. So to be on safer side it is better to do a urine pregnancy test now even though she is having spotting. If it is negative now then definitely she is not going to be pregnant due to the sex. So then you can wait for another week for her to get her periods. Finally light cramps and spotting may be preceding her normal periods.
