Question : I am 32 years old married male. last week I and my wife had an intercourse without any protection. During intercourse her periods started. So I went ahead and ejaculated inside. I am worried if she can get pregnant? It's more than 72 hours now, we cannot go for any oral contraceptives also.

Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns.

As you have had intercourse at the time of menstruation.there are negligeble chances of pregnancy.

The reason is that this period is considered as safe period because there is no ovulation at this time.

Hope this help.
