Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Mr XXXXXXX

She is on her 10th day of her cycle. It is relatively unsafe period. Pregnancy is possible with even pre-cum. I would suggest you to go ahead with Emergency contraceptive pill like I pill. It is easily available over the counter in majority of drug stores.
Go ahead and be safe.

Take CAre

Brief Answer:
ECP is very effective in preventing pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear Mr XXXXXXX

It is very risky to get MTP done without medical supervision.

Do not worry , ECP is very effective. In majority of cases its unlikely to delay her periods.

Do keep me updated.
