Is Pregnancy Possible Through Unprotected Sex?

Hello, I just have a query- I feel a bit silly about it but I just need some advice. Last month, I missed 2 contraceptive pills: one in the second week and one in the third. And another one in the first week this month.. I have been having period like cramps for 3 weeks now and I skipped my period last week by not taking the placebo tablets. I have been having unprotected sex throughout this time and have taken no plan B or emergency contraceptive, and just took the 2 missed pills as 2 extra days at the end of the packet. I am concerned about the cramps, what could this Be and what are the chances of pregnancy?

Hi,

Although this is not very likely, it is, however, possible that pregnancy occurs so you had one risky intercourse and if this happened during your ovulation period it is possible that pregnancy occurs, but considering your description of it, this risk is minor. To be sure you should do a pregnancy test which can be done when the period is missed or 8 days after the targeted intercourse so at this point it would be accurate enough to detect possible pregnancy. Standard urine test would be enough for it since this is almost 99% accurate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
