What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Having Unprotected Sex During Non Ovulation Days?

Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2014

Question: Hi, i cannot remember if my last period was the week of may 5th or the week of may 12th. The average length of my cycle is 30 days. I ovulate a little early. Usually around days 8 - 12. I had unprotected sex on XXXXXXX 3. I thought i was in the "safe" zone of my cycle, but i freaked out the next day and took 4 Minastrin 24 FE and 4 more 12 hours later as directed by a doctor as an emergency contraceptive effort. What is the likelihood i could be pregnant if my last period was on either of those dates and i ovulated as normal and took EC?

Brief Answer: XXXXXXX 3rd is safe period

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

As you had unprotected sex in safe zone( irrespective of last period being on 5th or 12th may) and also as you took emergency contraception within 72 hours of unprotected sex , you are unlikely to pregnant. XXXXXXX 3rd is definitely safe period. Also Emergency contraceptives are very much effective in preventing pregnancy.

Rest be assured there is no cause for concern.
