Patient's question:
My period was clean on the 14th and 15th, and on the 17th, I had sex with my boyfriend, and he ejaculated inside. I forgot to take the birth control pill afterward. It's been 3 days now. I want to ask if I don't take emergency contraception now, will I get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, having sex three days after your period without taking birth control pills generally leads to pregnancy. There is a period after your period that is considered a safe period, but during this time, you cannot fully breastfeed, and there is still a chance of pregnancy, although it is relatively low. Therefore, if you do not plan to have a child, you must pay attention to proper breastfeeding and personal hygiene, changing your clothes and underwear frequently to prevent further gynecological inflammation.
