(19M) Did I get her pregnant?

[Anonymous]

I had unprotected sex on the final day of her period (seven days before she ovulates according to her cycle). From what I've read the odds are slim right? Since sperm only survives 5 days in there. I've also had an unhealthy lifestyle past couple of months (lots of drinking and smoking cigs) and that affects sperm health.

This is known as Rhythm Method Birth Control.

Generally speaking, a healthy girl is most fertile around 12–14 days BEFORE menstruation. This means having raw sex during this period may result in pregnancy.

Theoretically, it appears that engage in sex only during the "safe zone" won't result in pregnancy. But in reality, hospitals shown that "accidents" happened around 25% of the time.

Yes, 1 in 4 couples got pregnant when using the Rhythm Method.

Hence its one of the worse prevention method. Even hospital (my neighbourhood health clinic) discourages using it.

Over here in GaG the joke is "whoever use the rhythm method is known as: parents".

If you manage to escape being a father this time, please don't try it again. Your future will be ruined if you both become parents before finishing your education.

Be safe, and safer. Be concerned over contracting STI also. Use a condom. Otherwise be monogamous and request her to insert IUDs.

It's not impossible. Give it a couple of weeks and have her take a couple of tests. And learn the lesson, don't cum in her. And maybe she should be on the pill

Generally ovulation occurs towards the middle of the cycle, not 7 days in. I’d say chances are slim but why didn’t you just pull out?

The seventh day?

[Asker]

No the fourth of her cycle (last day of her period). Seven days before she supposedly ovulates again.

[SnowedIn]

My understanding is that chances are actually really high then. 🥺

[boobliker]
