Question : My wife got her periods on 8th or 9th April. It goes on for around 4 to 5 days. She gets regular periods 5 to 7 days before 30 days. If we had intercourse today what are chances of pregnancy as we don't want another child.

Brief Answer:
Probability will be low.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
According to your menstrual history, the possible day of ovulation will be between 25th of April to 29th April. So chances of pregnancy is very low today.
However it is not hundred percent accurate and you can use a backup contraception like emergency(morning after pill).
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks

Hi,
Generally ovulation takes place fourteen days after the first day of bleeding. So in your case it is around 23rd of this month.
