Question : Hello,
I had sex on Monday in the wee hours. My boyfriend ejaculated three times inside of me. I thought I was safe cause my period was coming. My period came about 5 hours later. Then it stayed for less than 2 and a half days and the flow seemed normal. I usually have my period for a minimum of 5 to 7 days. I'm 34 years old and have 3 children. My youngest is 11 years old. I'm scared that I could be pregnant? Is this possible???

Brief Answer:
Very less possibility of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Since you had sex just prior to your expected periods, you were on your safe period.. Also you got your periods after that.. So the chance of pregnancy is very less..

The less number of days of bleeding donot indicate pregnancy.. So dont worry..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
