Question : Hello, I had protected sex 3 days before my period. I am on birth control pill and my boyfriend is wearing a condom. However when he came, he felt that the sperm overflowed the condom and suddenly pulled out. We checked the condom for hole or breakage but it didnt break. Is it still possible to get pregnant?

Brief Answer:
no risk of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, I understand your anxiety related to the issue
There is no risk of pregnancy
- there is no ovulation near the end of menstrual cycle I.e. just before periods
- you were on birth control
- he was wearing a condom (which even if overflowed would not release much of sperms).
So all in all nothing to worry.
Take care

thank you for the answer, however i have another issue, is it normal to have cramps the next day after sex?

Brief Answer:
can occur

Detailed Answer:
Cramps are not common after periods but is seen in some females when done just near periods because at that time ovaries are enlarged causing pain and cramps after sexual activity.
