What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After An Intercourse?
Question: can I get pregnant if a little sperm entered during sexual activity when not using any condom? my period is expected to be due in the next week or two.
Brief Answer:
It is possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Unprotected sex around the time of your ovulation can make you pregnant. If your periods are regular, then the window that you can get pregnant is usually from the 10th day from the 1st day of your last period to the 21st day. So the time you had the sexual encounter appears to be in that widow.
If you miss your next period or have a period different in flow than your usual period, you can do a blood beta HCG test to know whether you are pregnant or not.
You are welcome to ask if you have any further query.
Have a good day

My insecurity is that my period is not regular at all. I started tracking my period since August 2013 and the average cycle is until now 55 days. From January it took 88 days then 33 days, 28 days and then 48 days as of my last period on the 23rd July. So am assuming my next period should be soon but havnt seen any signs yet. I havnt had any sexual activities since January. Am out of the country and not sure about the medications since I have never taken any anti-baby pills.
Brief Answer:
Require testing
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Since you didn't have any sexual contact from January, you are not pregnant now. Otherwise it would have been obvious physically.
Condom would protect you from sexually transmitted diseases in addition to preventing pregnancy.
Whenever you are able to consult a doctor, you should get your hormonal study and an ultrasound examination to diagnose the reason for the irregular period.
Take care. Hope I have answered your query.
If there are no further queries, you may close the discussion and record your kind comments.
Wish you a good day and good health.

Not possible with irregular periods

Only when periods are regular can we estimate the time of ovulation and based on that we predict the safe period.
