Brief Answer:
Very rare chance

Detailed Answer:
hello and welcome to HCM. thanks for writing to us. there is very little chance of pregnancy here. since most of your cycles are now anovulatory but still there are chances of ovulation. I will advise you to do a pregnancy test to be sure if sexual activity was more that 20 days back . please get back to me with test results . regards. Dr Manisha Jain

Thanks for quick response. It was not 20 days back. Just 2-3 days back and prior to this we have had unprotected couple of times as I said. In fact I just got married abt a month ago. So r U suggesting I take a test after 20 days from this past Saturday ?

Brief Answer:
yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.,urine pregnancy test comes positive at least 15-20 days after implantation of the embryo. If you don't want the pregnancy then you can still take an emergency contraceptive pill as you had sex 2-3 days back. Regards Dr Manisha Jain.
