Patient's question:
On the 24th of this month, I had my period. On the 26th, I had sex with my husband without using any form of contraception. What is the chance of me getting pregnant? How many days later can I buy a pregnancy test kit to check if I'm pregnant? What kind of test kit should I buy?Doctor's answer:
In this case, if your menstrual cycle is regular, then you are in the safe period when having intercourse, and it is generally unlikely to get pregnant. The menstrual cycle of a woman is 28-30 days, and ovulation is expected to occur 14 days before the next menstrual period. The days of ovulation and the 5 days before and after are considered the safe period. However, due to factors such as lifestyle, emotions, sexual activity, health, and external influences, ovulation may be advanced or delayed in women, and additional ovulations may also occur. Therefore, pregnancy can still occur during the safe period.
