Patient's question:
Today I turned 19, I got a boyfriend, and the other day we went to a hotel room and had sex. But I was in my ovulation period, and I didn't take any contraceptive measures that day either. He also came inside. In this situation, is the chance of pregnancy high?Doctor's answer:
Having intercourse during ovulation without contraception increases the likelihood of pregnancy. During ovulation, eggs are released, and if they encounter sperm, fertilization occurs, forming a zygote which then develops into a gestational sac. Therefore, if you have intercourse during ovulation without contraception, it is essential to take emergency contraception promptly, within 72 hours of intercourse. If you are not planning to have children, it is important to use conventional contraceptive methods such as condoms or short-term birth control pills during intercourse.
