As long as the ejaculate wasn't inside your body or on your vagina, you can't get pregnant.

If sperm is deposited inside you during your fertile period, there is a possibility of becoming pregnant. Here are some key points to understand:

Fertility and Timing: Pregnancy is most likely if sperm meets an egg during ovulation, which usually occurs around the middle of your menstrual cycle.
Sperm Survival: Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, so intercourse a few days before ovulation can still lead to pregnancy.
Contraception: Using contraception methods can significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy.
Health and Age: At 25, fertility is generally good, but individual factors can vary.

If you have concerns about pregnancy or contraception, consulting a healthcare provider can provide personalized advice and options tailored to your needs.

I'm wondering about my 8 weeks 4 days scan. The gestational sac measured 27.9mm but is measuring 7 weeks 4 days. The fetal heart rate was over 175 and the CRL was 20mm. Is it normal for the sac to be measuring a week behind, and should I be concerned about any potential complications because of this?

The USG estimated gestational age is usually a few days different than lmp calculated gestational age

I've just turned 23 and I'm a bit worried because I'm missing my periods. Today marks the 8th day they should have started, but there's nothing yet. It's unusual for me since I haven't experienced a delay like this in the past three years. The only time I had a delay was when I traveled abroad in 2013, and it was a 15-day delay. Last month, my period was only three days late. I had protected sex earlier this month, and I even took a pregnancy test, which came out negative. Do you know why this might be happening or when I might get my periods?

Its possible that your period is delayed due to stress, changes in lifestyle, or hormonal fluctuations, especially since youve had a minor delay last month. Since your pregnancy test was negative and youve had protected sex, there's likely no need to worry. Its normal for occasional delays to happen, but if the delay continues or you have other concerns, its a good idea to consult with your doctor.
