Hi.

I am very worried about a possible pregnancy. Me and my ex-girlfriend had sex on the 4th and 5th day of her menstrual cycle. In both cases unprotected and ejaculating inside. During the sex on the 4th day, she was still menstruating heavily. The 5th day happened to be the first day of no bleeding. We took Plan B Morning After Pill on the 5th day (30 hrs after the first unprotected sex and 12 hours after the second unprotected sex where she had stopped bleeding). 3 months ago she took 2 Plan B Pills during the same week, which led to her having irregular cycles in the last 3 months. Her last cycle last was 37 days. Before the irregular cycles, she had 28day cycles.

We both learned our lesson now and will start using better methods for contraception in our future sexual encounters. However I cannot help but be very worried, as we are not together anymore (we separated and live far from each other) and we live in Brazil where abortions are not legal. I am tying to move on with my life but the thought of her possibly getting pregnant keeps me from being able to get her out of my head and move on.

Is it possible that she already started ovulating on the 4th/5th day? Is Plan B still effective for her considering she took it before in excessive dose a few months ago? Doctor, how likely is it that she is pregnant?


Thank you.
