Help Needed: Could she be pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, having a normal menstrual period after cohabitation can basically rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If you do not plan to conceive, it is important to take effective contraceptive measures during the next cohabitation. Having a menstrual period after cohabitation indicates that the previous cohabitation did not lead to pregnancy. As long as the menstrual period you mentioned is a normal one and not withdrawal bleeding after taking emergency contraception, it means you are definitely not pregnant. Generally, having a menstrual period after sexual activity still suggests that the previous sexual activity did not cause pregnancy. However, it is necessary to determine whether the bleeding is from a menstrual period. If the bleeding is similar to your usual menstrual cycle, it is likely still a menstrual period. This menstrual period further confirms that the previous sexual activity did not result in pregnancy.
