Can Sexual Intercourse During Ovulation Cause Pregnancy?

Hello. About two weeks ago I was ovulating and had sexual relations multiple times in the course of two days. I was sure that I was exhibiting symptoms of early pregnancy about a week and half later when my breasts were rough and dry, my appetite had increased, and I was beginning to feel nauseous. I was sure that I might be pregnant until this morning. I had vaginal bleeding, but it was lighter than my normal period and was brown and very liquidy. Then I went to lay down and started to have cramps and when I went to the bathroom I saw that there was more blood. Still not as much as a normal period. I had only used one pad all day except for just now because. I showered. Is there a chance that I am still pregnant?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Yes sexual intercourse during ovulation can cause pregnancy. This is the way by which woman get pregnant by natural way.
As per your second query the bleeding you had could be implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding happens normally 7-10 days after getting pregnant. This bleeeding is less in quantity than your normal period & also lasts for 1-2 days. However the bleeding can also be your menstrual period, but in that case bleeding would get heavy & would last for 3-5 days in total.

If you had little bleeding over period of 1-2 days, this should be implantation bleeding & you will be pregnant still. so you are advised a pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy.

Refer to a gynaecologist for more queries

Hope this information helps
good luck
