Q: Chances of being pregnant ?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 12th, 2008

i had unprotected sex on jan. 11th 2008, the 19th day of my cycle? because the first day of my last period was dec. 24th 2007.. He "pulled out" but it was too wet down there that i think he might of already ejaculated. is there anyway i can know if he did or not, otherthan asking him, its pretty uncomfortable if i ask i dont want him to think i might be pregnant i'd rather one person worry over it then 2 especially if i am not pregnant.. i know he didn't go inside me at one point but it concerns me because i'll be expecting my period on Jan 21, 2008...and i am always on point when my period comes, its very regulated. i want to know what the chances of being pregnant are in my situation? i've looked up ovulation calendars and all that, and half of them say i wasn't ovulating or fertile or whatever and the other half say i was..

--very confused

According to the date of your next expected menstrual period (Jan. 21st), the fertile days of your menstrual cycle are from the 5th to the 9th of January. If you had sex on the 11th January, the chances for conceiving are small but still possible.

Next time, use a more secure method for contraception like a condom or contraceptive pills. Your partner should be worried about the same consequences because he is also responsible for the outcome. You can tell him about your problem with no fear. He should own his part of responsibility if he wants to engage in sex.

If your period becomes late, you can take a pregnancy test.
