Dear welcome to hcm and thanks for choosing us.

In case of irregular cycles, it is very difficult to say with surety. However sex on 31st jan is unlikely to be responsible for pregnancy even if it is there. Since you had periods on 2 feb , it rules out the pregnancy. Sex on 8th March can be responsible for pregnancy.

In my opinion you should go for a pregnancy test. Nowadays very sensitive , cheaper and simple tests are available to confirm the pregnancy. Do the test with morning urine sample.

I hope my reply will help you. Please write to us for more queries. I wish you good health. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
