Please take a deep breath. I know you are feeling very tense right now but you have asked for help at the exact right time. Let us look at your situation and figure out exactly what to do.
Is there a risk of pregnancy?
Yes there is a small risk for two main reasons:
Sperm can travel: Even if the ejaculation happens on the outside vulva area sperm are very active and can easily swim inside the vaginal opening. Also the clear fluid released before ejaculation can sometimes contain active sperm.
Your cycle timing: In a regular 28 day cycle ovulation usually happens around the middle of the month. Sperm can survive inside the body for up to five days. Since your period started on March 26 having intercourse on March 30 and 31 means those sperm could potentially still be active as you get closer to your fertile days.
What you need to do right now
Take an emergency pill: Since your last unprotected intercourse was on March 31 you are still well within the 72 hour window to stop a pregnancy. Please get an emergency contraceptive pill like ipill or Unwanted 72 from your local pharmacy and take it immediately. The faster you take it the better it works to delay your ovulation.
Do not stress about side effects: You might feel a little bit of nausea or have mild stomach cramps after taking the pill. It is also very normal for this pill to make your next period arrive a few days early or slightly late so please do not panic if your cycle shifts a little bit this month.
