Is Pregnancy Possible Through Intercourse Soon After Menstruation?
Question: My wife's period was early this last time. It started 17 days after the her previous period. Usually she was about 28 days apart. We had unprotected sex right after her last period ended. ( maybe on the last day of her last period, it was the 5th day after it started.) About 5 days later I found out that her latest period was not normal (early by more than a week). Can she get pregnant under this situation? Today is the 5th day after the unprotected sex. Can we do anything to prevent pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns about the possibility of pregnancy.
It is not possible to get pregnant so soon after the period starts. Ovulation ( egg release ) does not happen only after 5 days of start of periods.
Hence there is absolutely no chance of pregnancy. Since she has already had her periods, there is no chance of pregnancy.
I suggest you relax and nothing to worry as there are no chances of pregnancy.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards

Hi Dr. XXXXXXX
Thank you very much. The thing that I am worry is that her period suddenly become irregular. Would that cause the ovulation become randomly happen? She is at the age of 49 now.

Brief Answer:
She is nearing menopause
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is nearly impossible to get pregnant at 49 years of age.
These irregular periods are suggestive of perimenopause, meaning her periods are about to stop in few years and she will enter menopause.
This is the reason for starting of irregular periods.
