Pwede po bang mabuntis gf ko?

Nag-sex po kame 2 days after ng menstruation niya. Bali 22 days lang po yung length ng menstrual cycle nya. Nagkaron po sya nung January 20, natapos nung January 25, nag-sex kami nung January 27. May posibilidad po bang mabuntis sya?


Translation: Can my girlfriend get pregnant if we have sex 2 days after her menstrual period? Her menstrual cycle is 22 days. To be clear: She had her menstruation on January 20 which ended on January 25. And then we had sexual intercourse on January 27.

Thanks for your question.

From the information on your girlfriend's menstrual cycle length and flow duration, her fertile window fell on the 25th of January through to the 28th. This is because ovulation date typically falls on the 14th day before the next period which was on the 28th of January.

Three to five days before the ovulation date and the day of ovulation comprise the fertile window (25th Jan - 28th Jan), within which unprotected sexual intercourse can result in pregnancy.

Therefore, engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse on the 27th of January, which is within her fertile window, has a chance of resulting in pregnancy.

However, to be certain, you could have her go for a pregnancy test.

I hope I have answered your question.

Best wishes.
