Hallow Dear,

The egg is released 14 days prior to the next expected day of menstruation. Hence considering your menstrual cycle to be of 28 days, it would be day 14 of the cycle (you can adjust the day according to your cycle periodicity). The egg has life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence the fertile period is about a week around the day of egg release, which would then be day 10 to day 18 of the cycle.

Your had a sex on day 4 of your menstrual cycle which is far away rom the fertile period. Hence, practically there is no possibility of egg being present on that day to cause pregnancy.

For post coital contraception, there are two scientific methods:

1. Post coital emergency contraceptive pill to be consumed ideally within 24 hours of but not later than 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.

2. Intrauterine device to be inserted within 5 days of the unprotected intercourse.

There is no home remedy to avoid pregnancy after unprotected intercourse.

I hope this helps you.
