Hi and welcome to HCM
In your case you are less likely to be pregnant, because you had sex during the safe period. But if you and your partner had sex previously during the fertile period you may be become pregnant.
This is for your information.
If a women's menstrual cycle varies from 26days to 31days cycle, The shortest cycle [26days] minus18days=8th day. The longest cycle [31days] minus 10days=21st day Thus, 8th to 21st day of each cycle counting from first day of menstrual period is considered as fertile period. That is UNSAFE PERIOD.Period other than this fertile period in a menstrual cycle is considered as SAFE PERIOD
You take a home pregnancy test for confirmation, if by chance it is positive and you dont want baby then consult a local doctor for safe termination of pregnancy.
If it is negative and you are not planning for a baby, then use regular birth control methods like condom or oral pills. Safe period method is very crude method and has high failure rate
