Hello,

Please note that the chances of getting pregnant through unprotected sex are, at best, 33% if you have sex every day during fertile days (best chances are if you have sex 1-2 days before your mid cycle). If you had unprotected three days before or after mid cycle, the probability drops to 15% or less. On average, there is about 5-6% chance of being pregnant after unprotected sex during mid-cycle. These numbers are only indicative because each woman and couple could be an exception from these average calculations.

You had sex on January 8th, or in the 16th day of your cycle. Now, all depends on how long your cycle is. If it is 28 days, then your mid-cycle would be on 6th of January and the chances of being pregnant by having sex on 8 January are low but they exist. If your cycle is any longer, then the chances of being pregnant by having unprotected sex on 8 January are definitely higher.

You should wait 1-2 weeks after you had sex or at least one week after the date of your missed periods (for example if your periods were due to January 23 then you have to wait one week after this date for most accurate results).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ervin Toçi
