What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnant With Unprotected Intercourse?
Me and my girlfriend are wanting a child. We have had sex 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Unprotected. She is also not on birth control. Her period should be coming up soon. Last time it was the 7th. It is now the 29th and the latest we are thinking her period should come is on the 7th of July. What are the chances that she will be pregnant?

Hallow Dear,
It is not possible to predict the probability of pregnancy without knowing the exact days of your intercourse in relation to your menstrual cycle.
However, please follow these instructions if she fails to conceive during this cycle:
Get her ovulation monitoring done by ultrasonography. Try to plan the intercourse on and around the day of egg release. The egg has a life of 24 hours and sperms are active for 3 days. So intercourse near the day of ovulation will help her conceive.
If this time she misses her period, please get her pregnancy test done on overnight morning first urine sample about a week after missed period; earlier these tests may report false negative. Alternatively, you may opt for Beta hCG test on her blood 10 days after the last unprotected intercourse.
I hope this should provide a scientific answer to your query.
