Does Unprotected Sex During Menstruation Cause Pregnancy?
Hello, I am a 21 year old female who had unprotected intercourse on August 4th while on my period, my period ended August 6th. My partner did not ejaculate inside of me but for the past 3 days, I have had spotting, lower abdominal cramps, and just had diarrhea. I m a little worried because I have never had these symptoms before, just trying to rule out pregnancy.

Hello,
Chances are very small you are pregnant but it is advisable to have a urinary pregnancy test if your periods delay. As for the spotting, sometimes it happens even outside of the pregnancy, it may happen during ovulation as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
