Yes, if sexual intercourse occurs during ovulation time then you can get pregnant. Ovulation time is from day 12 to day 17 (first day of period counted as day 1) usually in women with regular periods. In women with iregular periods, ovulation can happen anytime, thereby not knowing the time to do sexual intercourse.

Yes, a 25-year-old woman with irregular periods can still get pregnant. However, predicting ovulation timing may be more challenging.
Irregular periods mean ovulation doesn't occur consistently, complicating conception timing.
Conception Tips: a. Track ovulation using basal body temperature or ovulation predictor kits. b. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Medical Evaluation: a. Consider seeing a gynecologist or fertility specialist. b. Check for conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues, which can be managed to improve fertility.
Reassurance: Irregular periods don't prevent pregnancy, but medical guidance can enhance your conception journey.

I recently had unprotected sex and needed an emergency pill, but I couldn't find i pill or Unwanted 72 in Hyderabad. Are these pills banned everywhere now? The pharmacist offered me something called i doz 72 instead. Is this the same thing as the others? Is it safe to take?

i-Pill and Unwanted-72 are not banned in India, but availability issues may occur; i-Doz 72, containing levonorgestrel 1.5mg, is an alternative emergency contraceptive pill, considered safe and effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, with similar efficacy to i-Pill and Unwanted-72.
