Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had unprotected sex on the second day of my period. My partner did not discharge. Can I get pregnant?

Answered by Dr. Megha Tuli

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query. It is highly impossible to get pregnant due to unprotected intercourse during your period. Endometrium of the uterus is not habitable for a conception during this condition and hence pregnancy is not possible at this time.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I saw a gynecologist, she told me that there is a chance of pregnancy. How it is possible if my partner has not discharged?

Answered by Dr. Megha Tuli

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Precum also have sperm and can potentially cause pregnancy. This is a rare case.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
