Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi im a 21 year old female. Last week i had unprotected sex with my husband and i didnt realize i was ovulating. I m 3 days away from my period and im tiredness, nausea, appetite change, frequent urination, headaches. And I m just wondering if there s a chance I could be pregnant and if I should go ahead and take a pregnancy test or wait until my period?
I have gone through your question thoroughly and I will try my best to give a satisfactory answer.
As you had unprotected sex during your ovulation days which is the fertile period of female reproductive cycle, pregnancy may be possible. I would suggest you take a pregnancy test in case you miss your periods by 1 week as the bets HCG levels take 6-12 days to rise in the urine after implantation to yield a positive pregnancy test.
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
