What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy If Had Sex Just After The Periods?

Hi I didn t take my pill for two weeks because I had to undergo a planned surgery, and after the surgery I was told not to take the pill until I had recovered a good amount. Now in these 2 weeks me and my boyfriend had unprotective sex, right after my menstruation (a day or so). From what I know, the eggcell leaves my body with the menstruation, which means I should be safe, right? I haven t had any of the symptoms yet (vomiting, tender breasts and such) but I ve heard of friends becoming pregnant without knowing it. The reason why I haven t used a pregnancy test is because I m currently on vacation and I haven t had the chance yet to buy one, and I m rather paranoia about this. Please help!

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
As you have not taken birth control pills, you have chance to form egg.
Day 10 to 20 of the cycle is most fertile period of cycle.
If you had unprotected sex in the same period then you have chances of pregnancy.
You need to wait till your expected date, and if you miss it get urine tested.
Also use of i pill or PLAN B tablets within 24 hours of unprotected sex helps to avoid pregnancy.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
