What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Having Unprotected Sex During Periods?

I had unprotected sex on the first day of my period and then again on the second day, after that my period completely stopped, it has only been 12 days since day 1 of the period, I took a test and it said negative. Is it too early to tell? What are my chances?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Day 1 and 2 of the menstrual cycle are probably the safest days and chances of pregnancy is extremely low. Remember that chances of pregnancy are high after day 12-18 from the first day of period in women with regular periods.
Also pregnancy test will come positive after 3 weeks from the day of conception, so in your case even if you had conceived, the test will come positive after 1 more week if there is a pregnancy from sex on day 1 and 2.

I suggest that you stop worrying as the chances are very low and either take a test after 7 days to be absolutely sure or wait till your next period.

Do not worry and have a good day.
Thanks for using HCM.
