Can Pregnancy Happen Due To Unprotected Intercourse Despite Being On The Pill?

my girlfriend and i briefly had sex earlier. Around half an hour before we had intercourse, i did ejaculate. I wiped my penis on my boxer shorts to clean it. Before intercourse i did wipe it again. It was unprotected sex which was a stupid thing to do. My girlfriend is on the pill and is on day 4 of her cycle on the pill. how likely is it that she is pregnant?

Hallow Dear,

Oral contraceptive pills are highly successful in avoiding pregnancy. If she is very regular in consuming the pills, your unprotected intercourse should not result in the pregnancy.

Moreover, you had this sexual venture on day 4 of her cycle. On day 4, egg is not released as yet to get fertilized. The egg is released 14 days before the next menstrual cycle. Considering 24 hours' life of egg and sperm activity for 72 hours, a period of about a week is fertile window. Your intercourse was far away from fertile window.

So, from this unprotected sexual relation, she has no possibility of pregnancy.

I hope this helps you.
