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.

Question

I've been using Krimson 35 pills for a week, starting from the 10th day after my period began, up until the 17th day. Then I stopped taking them and had unprotected sex. A week later, I noticed some bleeding. Could this be implantation bleeding, or is it just my irregular menstrual cycle acting up? What are the chances that I might be pregnant? Since my periods are usually pretty irregular, I'm feeling a bit anxious.

Question

I've been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks and my doctor prescribed a 100mg Methotrexate injection, which I took today around 4pm. Since then, I've had constant but bearable pain is this normal? I really want to avoid surgery. Can I take any painkillers for this? Would appreciate your advice.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because my husband accidentally bit my nipple, and now my left breast is hurting and feels a bit injured. It's been five days, and I haven't taken any medicine yet. Should I be worried about this, or is it time to see a doctor? Would really appreciate some guidance!
