Is Pregnancy Possible Through Unprotected Sex During Safe Period?
Question: I am worried about getting pregnant. I have used iud and birth control in the past and my body did not tolerate these. i bought a lady comp but it has not learnt my cycle yet. i had my last period the 9 of febuary and i had my period again 9 of march. my period ended the 13 of march. i had unprotected sex 9-13 because i thought it was safe since i read that you should stop having sex around the 12th day after the start of your cycle since sperm lives for 5 days. i thought that having sex 1-5 days after the start of my period was safe but now im scared that i will have a shorter cycle or something will go wrong, i am going to not risk it anymore and always use condoms even though it is not ideal in a realtionship. should i be worried and how long do i have to wait to take a pregnancy test.
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy test after 7 days of your missed period date.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
The chances of pregnancy are almost negligible in your case but yes it is not rule out 100%.
Usually ovulation occurs 14 days before your expected period date in 30 days regular cycle.
And usually 4-5 days before and 24 hrs. After ovulation period is considered not safe.
So in your case you had sex in your safe days.
But if you missed your next period get your pregnancy test after 7 days of your missed period date.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
