Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Plan B Post Unprotected Sex?

Hi. I have a question about possible pregnancy. Today is tuesday and this weekend I had unprotected sex. I had it on friday, saturday and sunday morning. Friday was my first day of the period and the guy also pulled it out. Though he did have some pre cum and im not exactly sure if he did pull out the last time. It was also my first time to have sex. On monday morning I took a plan B. Is it possible that I could still become pregnant?

Hallow Dear,

Since you had intercourses during menstruation , there is no possibility of any pregnancy. There was no need of plan B pill also considering then timing of your intercourses.

The egg is formed 14 days prior to the next menses. Egg has 24 hour's life and the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence a period of about a week around the day of egg release is a fertile period. Your intercourses were far away from this period. Hence there is least possibility of pregnancy.

However, I would like to advise you to avoid sex during menstrual period lest the risk of infection.

I hope this helps you.
