Hi Anonymous,

If you had unprotected intercourse about two days after a normal period, it was a bit too early to be ovulating and thus no risk for pregnancy.

A woman’s monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of her next period.

Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period.

Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 – Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP. This is what many refer to as the “fertile time” of a woman’s cycle, because sexual intercourse during this time increases the chance of pregnancy.

Wait and if your next period is late by more than seven days, test for pregnancy. That is really the only way to know if you are pregnant.

Regards,
Maryann
