Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I just wanted to ask if it's possible for a woman to get pregnant if she has her period and then has sexual intercourse four days after that.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It is possible, but it depends on the length of her menstrual cycle. For example, if she has a shorter cycle, like 21 days, ovulation might occur as early as day 7, which could be just a couple of days after her period ends. Since sperm can survive inside the body for up to five days, it's possible for her to get pregnant if she has intercourse a few days after her period. The timing can vary based on her individual cycle.
Thanks
