Patient's question:
By mistake, a little bit of semen was released. What is the probability of getting pregnant? My period started on the 7th of this month, and on the 24th, my boyfriend released semen into my body. I'm only 16 and a student, and I'm very afraid of having a child. I want to take birth control pills but feel they're unsafe. Should I take the pills? What is the probability of getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you had sexual intercourse during your menstrual cycle. Menstrual cycles are very regular, and the date of menopause is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Generally, the 5 days before ovulation, the 4 days after ovulation, and ovulation itself are collectively referred to as the fertile window, totaling 10 days. You are more likely to conceive during this period. Do you know if you are in the fertile window? If you are not sure, since it is still within 72 hours, it is recommended to take emergency contraception. Although it has side effects, it is less harmful than an abortion. In the future, pay attention to using contraceptive measures. Also, you are still young, so avoid engaging in sexual activity too early to prevent interference with physical and mental development.
