User : doctor are you there
Doctor : Let me explain to you.
Doctor : The chances of pregnancy depend on the day of ovulation.
User : ok
Doctor : Can you confirm if your partners period were regular?
User : one more information : her period cycle is 28-30 days
Doctor : If her periods were 28 -30 days cycles and if they are regular, then ovulation days are usually on the 10th to 18th day.
Doctor : Hence, since were involved in unprotected sexual intercourse on the 7th day of menstrual cycles,
Doctor : the chances of pregnancy is 20 to 30%.
Doctor : However, i pill and other emergency contraceptive pill are effective when taken within 72 hour following sexual intercourse.
Doctor : Since it's already past 72 hours
User : one more information : she gets bleeding for 5 days from first day of period. this is regular with her
Doctor : using i pill may not be effective in preventing pregnancy.
Doctor : Hence I suggest you not to use pills as the benefits are less.
User : what should i do to 100% confirm not to get this converted to pregency and pasify my wife
User : she is worried about getting pregent
Doctor : Since it is already past 72 hours, emergency contraception may not work.
Doctor : There are higher chances of her not being pregnant.
Doctor : Hence I do not suggest you to worry about it now.
User : "she gets bleeding for 5 days from first day of period. this is regular with her" is this info helpful in this discussion
Doctor : The day of menstruation is counted from the first day of periods.
Doctor : In a 28 to 30 day cycle, ovulation falls between 11th to 17th day.
Doctor : So i would say that the chances of pregnancy is less, however is not absolutely impossible.
Doctor : I hence suggest you not to worry.
