Brief Answer:
Almost nil chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. As I have communicated in our previous conversation that if there was no intercourse, and the chances of entry of semen in vagina are rare, then chances of pregnancy are extremely low. Moreover, since she had her normal periods after the sexual act, pregnancy is ruled out.
Multiple negative pregnancy tests after the incidence completely rules out pregnancy.
Patient of PCOD can have irregular periods and moreover the occurrence of periods after the sexual act and negative urine pregnancy tests rule out any chance of pregnancy.
I suggest you both not to worry and panic. If the periods are delayed by more than expected duration, then she can get a urine pregnancy test done.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back to me with the result of the urine pregnancy test done today.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Don't panic

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I still assure you that she is not pregnant, as urine pregnancy test becomes positive after around14 days of the sexual act, if there is any chance of pregnancy by this act.
Since the pregnancy test is negative even after16 days of the act, pregnancy is definitely ruled out.
I asked you to get her urine pregnancy test repeated just to be doubly sure, however I am confident that the test will be negative.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, she need not do any further pregnancy test if the result of tomorrow's test is negative.The result will be conclusive and will rule out any possibility of pregnancy.
No, it is not at all possible to get pregnant by that act in next menstrual cycle.
I have not read or heard of any pregnancy by small amount of precum while fingering.
Yes, if the cycle length is 35-37 days, then day 38 is definitely safe period, very far from the day of ovulation and hence pregnancy is not a possibility by any act on this day.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
She is 100% not pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, if her urine pregnancy test is negative today , i.e. after 23 days of the sexual intimacy, then it is 100% confirmed that she is not pregnant.
Morning urine sample is preferable to do HPT, however the positive results are found in the urine of any time during the day if pregnancy is there , especially after 23 days of sexual activity.
The implantation bleeding is very light, and soaks maximum 1-2 pads a day, and is for only 1-2 days. She had a proper period from 25-28 July, with soakage of 4 pads per day, this is definitely her menstrual periods.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, you should not worry so much.
Implantation bleeding usually occurs on 6-7 th day after the sexual activity (if the fertilization has occured ). Moreover, implantation bleeding is very light and there is no clot passage in it. It soaks maximum 1-2 pads per day, as I told you earlier, if it was implantation bleeding.
Yes, HPT is definitely positive after implantation bleeding.
There is no need to do repeat HPT.

Brief Answer:
Do not panic

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, do not panic at all.
If she had got her periods after the sexual act and her urine pregnancy test is repeatedly negative, then pregnancy is completely ruled out and there is no chance of pregnancy by this act in further cycles.
There is variation in between various menstrual periods and if there is difference of only one pad, then it is completely normal. Moreover, passage of clots indicates that it was period flow.

Brief Answer:
likely vaginal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, if there is bleeding following the itching, it can be due to vaginal infection.
Patients with PCOS can get irregular periods like this.
I would suggest her to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined and rule out any vaginal infection and treated accordingly.
