Can I Get Pregnant from Unprotected Sex During My Period? 4o

Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I’m worried about the possibility of pregnancy. My boyfriend accidentally put his penis inside me without a condom while I was on the third day of my period. He pulled out quickly and didn’t ejaculate, but now I’m stressing. Is there any chance I could get pregnant from this?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

No, most likely you will not get pregnant. When you're on your period, especially in the early days, the chances of ovulation and conception are very low. Additionally, since there was no ejaculation, the risk is further reduced. However, there is a small chance that pre-ejaculate (precum) could contain sperm, and if you have a shorter cycle, ovulation might happen sooner than expected. If you're worried, you could take emergency contraception as a precaution, especially if your cycle is irregular. Otherwise, you're likely in the clear.

 

Thanks
