Patient's question:
I had my period on February 2nd and had intercourse on the 10th. Could I be pregnant? I took an emergency contraceptive pill, and I had some bleeding on February 21st. It's now the 22nd, and I haven't had my period yet. Am I pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The day of ovulation is generally fourteen days before the next menstrual period. Since eggs can be fertilized within two to three days after being released and sperm can survive for three to four days and enter the egg, if the day of ovulation is taken as the base, the four days before and five days after are considered the risky period, while the rest are the safe period. If the period arrived on October 2nd and sexual intercourse occurred on the 10th, it would be the safe period, and the likelihood of pregnancy would be high.
