I'm really worried and hoping for some advice. So, I had unprotected sex a day before I got my period and my cycles are usually between 28-32 days. The guy I was with ejaculated inside me. Is there a chance I could still get pregnant from this? I'm a bit anxious about the timing and how it all works. Would love some clarity on this!
It's unlikely that pregnancy would occur in this scenario, as the girl had her usual period the day after unprotected sex. Ovulation typically occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, so if the period started on time, it suggests she was not in her fertile window. However, if there are any concerns or missed periods later, it's always a good idea to take a pregnancy test or consult a healthcare provider.
