Q: NuvaRing + unprotected sex 5 days after my period ... chance
asked by: DoctorQuestion on May 25th, 2007
I just started using the Nuvaring. I inserted it on the first day of my period which was May 20th. The instructions say to wait 7 days before attempting unprotected sex after the first time of insertion but I had unprotected sex last night (May 25th) and my partener ejaculated in me.
Should I be worried? Its been less than 5 days since my period started (however I stopped bleeding on the 23rd). And its been around 5 days since Ive had the ring in me.

What are my chances of getting pregnant? And should I consider taking the Morning After Pill?

The chances of you getting pregnant are very small because you had sex on a day which is not considered a fertile day in the menstrual cycle. The fertile days are the days around ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs about 14 days before your next period comes. For most women with a 28 day cycle, ovulation happens in the middle of the cycle. The first 7 days of the menstrual cycle are usually the days of menstruation and are considered safe days for having unprotected sex... but only if your cycle is 21 days or longer. In the case that a woman's menstrual period if shorter than 21 days, she will most likely ovulate 7 days after menstruation begins.
