Can Pregnancy Happen With Intercourse Performed During A Period?

Hi. I've irregular periods for awhile. I had one in Jan, Feb, skipped March and one in Apr. In May on the 17th - 20th I had light pink spotting only when I wiped. I wouldn't even call it spotting. I wore a pad and sometimes it would stain it but not often. I was sexually active before, didn't use a condom but we used the pull out method. On May 20th, the last day of this spotting we were intimate but he didn't pull out. We were intimate again on June 5th and yet again he did not pull out. What ate the chances of being pregnant before the spotting and what are the chances of getting pregnant now, after May 20th and June 5th. I have no idea when I ovulate because of this weird spotting. The first day of my last period was April 5th and lasted through April 10th.

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand 0
your concern.
Spotting you had could be due to-
- It might be irregular period you usually have/pcod having such irregular bleeding.
- ovullation bleeding.. there stands possibility of conception during the imediate unprotected sex on 20th of May (as you reported it)
- Or it might be implantation bleeding caused unprotected sex you had in April before the spotting.
* The answer to the problem will be given by pregnancy test of urine done at home...iit can be +ve if you are pregnant... or usg pelvis after 5 werks of pregnancy
* usg pelvis would help in detecting cause of irregular period (pcod/ovarian cyst).
- Thyroid function test would find the causation due ti thyroid problem.
-CBC&relevent tests would suggest other causes of irregular period (anemia,infection or kochs )
Thus careful investigations under a gynecologist's care followed by soecific treatmrnt would help you.
Thanks.
