Hello,
If you are not planning a pregnancy, it is better not to rely on “safe days” or the calendar method alone. Ovulation can vary from cycle to cycle, and sperm can survive for several days, so pregnancy is possible even when intercourse occurs outside the expected fertile window.
For reliable pregnancy prevention, consider:
* Condoms during every intercourse.
* A regular contraceptive method such as oral contraceptive pills, IUD, or other suitable options, after discussing them with a healthcare professional.
* If unprotected intercourse has already occurred, emergency contraception may be an option depending on how much time has passed.
If you share the date of the last menstrual period and the date of unprotected intercourse, the situation can be assessed more specifically.
