Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on November 5th. On December 3rd, I had sex with my boyfriend without using any protection. Could you please tell me if the chances of getting pregnant in this situation are high? I know things are not absolute, but I just want to know how likely it is!Doctor's answer:
If some sperm has already entered the body and the woman is in her ovulation period, it is still possible to get pregnant in this situation. In some cases, there may be contraceptive failure with birth control pills. It is recommended to visit a hospital around half a month after fertilization for an ultrasound or check the HCG levels to see if pregnancy is possible. Sometimes, pregnancy tests may have false negatives or false positives. If you are not ready to have a child, it is essential to take appropriate protective measures. The man should ideally wear a condom, and it is also best to avoid the fertile period. I hope my answer helps you.
