Possibilities Of Getting Pregnant On Having Sex During Periods? Had Plan B For Safety
My bf and I did stuff during my period on Wednesday but we just rubbed our genitals. He ejaculated somewhere else but he had pre-*** during the rubbing. What are the possibilities of getting pregnant this way? The last time he ejaculated was one day before we did (Monday). I took plan B approx 48 hours after the process just in case.

Hello
Thanks for the query
If you have had an episode of unprotected intercourse, even during your ' safe ' period, theoretically, there are always chances of pregnancy.
Moreover, even the pre ejaculatory fluid sometimes contains active sperms , hence you should always use a permanent, reliable method of contraception in future.
As for now, taking the emergency contraceptive pill within 48 hours will protect against pregnancy, however , it is not 100 % effective, and it is more effective if taken within 24 hours.
So, for the time being, use a contraceptive, and wait for your period.
If delayed by a week, go for pregnancy testing and appropriate medical advice for termination
Take care.
