What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Unprotected Sex?
Question: sir i had protected sex with my girl friend on 20th 22th aug and 6th and 9th september. her last period was 15th night 4.00 am early morning. today is 16th sep .. is she pregnant
Brief Answer:
She may not be pregnant.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
The chances of pregnancy with proper use of condom is 1-2% failure rate/ year. It can go up to 10-14% failure rate/ year with improper use.
In my opinion, if you are using a barrier method (condom) as per the direction and there is no spillage of semen, the chances of pregnancy are very less.
But no contraceptive method gives 100% protection.
There are so many reasons for delayed menses, other than pregnancy.
In your case you had sex in her unsafe period also, so we cannot rule out the pregnancy 100%.
So in my opinion you should wait and watch for her period bleeding for 5-6 days.
If she will not resume her period, then you should go for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.

thanks doctor . period lastly started on 18th sep 2014 . i am relieved. she is having delayed period length of 34 days . please suggest safest period for doing sex ?
Brief Answer:
No period is safe period.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nice to hear from you.
No, period is safe period means you should always use protection during sex.
I am giving most fertile days of her cycle that is 4-5 days before and 1-2 days after ovulation.
In her case if her cycle length is 34 days then her ovulation occurs around 20 th day of her cycle.
So her most fertile days are from 14 th day to 23 days of her menstrual cycle, where 1st day is considered as first day of bleeding.
So you should avoid sexual intercourse during these days.
Safe period are 1-2 days before and 1-2 days after menstrual period.
Feel free to discuss more.
Good luck.
