Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2015

Question: I had sex on the second day of my menstraul cycle. Is it safe? If not whats the precautions. This happened in the last week

Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are less than 5%.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The second day of the cycle is a comparatively safe period of the cycle. Now that more than 96 hours have passed since you had sex, nothing can be done now. It is best to wait for your periods ad start with a regular contraceptive like oral pill from the next cycle.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Taking oral pills now will not help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Taking any medicines now cannot help you. It is best to wait till your next periods and see if it arrives on time. Taking any pill will not help now.
Hope my answer is helpful.
