Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have been using condoms for contraception, but last night after removing it, my husband found that the condom had broken. It was the fifth day after my period ended. Could I be pregnant?Follow-up question: Thank you for your answer. What are some good methods to avoid pregnancy now?
Doctor's answer:
As long as ejaculation occurs inside the vagina, if the woman is in her ovulation period at that time, pregnancy may occur. Generally, about ten days after intercourse, pregnancy may manifest with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and breast tenderness.You can go to the hospital for an hCG test. This is usually detectable around ten days after intercourse and is the earliest and most accurate method. Using a pregnancy test kit, it is typically used one week after a missed period. For the most accurate results, it is best to test with morning urine.
