Will I get pregnant if my period comes on the 13th and ends on the 20th?

Patient's question:

Menstruation on the 13th, completely clean on the 20th, had sex on the 21st without using contraception because I don't want a child temporarily. After sex, I rinsed the vagina with diluted salt water. Will I get pregnant? I have already taken the birth control pill once this year. If possible, I don't want to decide to take it again. Thank you for your help.

Doctor's answer:

You don't want to take emergency contraception, then you can only wait 10 days after coitus to go to a regular hospital to get a blood hCG test to find out how you got pregnant? Remember in the future if you don't want a child, you must use a full-length condom during coitus for safe breastfeeding, don't have any, or you'll worry about getting pregnant. After coitus, it's not guaranteed that rinsing with clean water or salt water can completely clean the semen. I hope my explanation helps you.
