Patient's question:
I previously used protection every time I had sex with my boyfriend, but this time I didn't. Will I get pregnant if I didn't use contraception this one time?Doctor's answer:
Same-room without contraceptive measures determines whether you are having sex during the safe period or the ovulation period. The safe period is from seven days before your period to eight days after your period, during which you can have sex without the risk of pregnancy. The ovulation period is the day before your next period (the ovulation day), and the five days before and four days after the ovulation day, totaling ten days. During this time, having sex increases the chances of pregnancy. You can calculate it yourself. If you do not want to get pregnant, it is best to take contraceptive measures such as oral contraceptives, using a diaphragm, or wearing condoms.
