Is An Emergency Contraceptive Required Even Without Sperm Ejaculation Done Inside?

Hi,I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend 31 hours ago. It was brief for just about a minute and I did not ejaculate in her. She has a regular period cycle of 26-28 days and had her last period on 18th (we had sex on the sixth day). Should an emergency contraceptive be taken?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

Brief Answer :
No need to take any contraceptives.

Detailed Answer :
As a physician I would like to tell you that according to your history given you had sex during first half of Menstrual cycle on 6th day just after the period has ended. There is a very very less possibility of getting pregnant in that period if she has a regular 28-30 days cycle without any flactuations in last 6 months.

I would also like to advise you that to avoid any future mishaps you should use condoms or oral contraceptive pills as a precautionary measure as having unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy if you are not careful.

I would also like to state that if she misses her period next month, get a UPT (Urine Pregnancy Test) done or visit a Gynecologist as soon as possible.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
