Is Pregnancy Through Unprotected Intercourse During Fertile Period?
Question: Can I get pregnant from a single act of sex?
My partner and I are trying for our first baby..We are both healthy at the age of 26+27.
However, my partner is taking antidepressants for anxiety (citalopram) and he finds it very difficult to ejaculate with intercourse. We managed to have 2 sexual acts one this month, at the 7th and 9th day after my period. According to my gynecologist, I usually ovulate at day 11. My chances?
