“Even just after periods, pregnancy is still possible because ovulation can sometimes occur early. If pregnancy is not desired, emergency contraception may be considered depending on how long ago the intercourse happened. For confidential guidance about emergency contraception and further care, you can consult at our clinic.”.

If you've had unprotected sex with ejaculation inside and you're not trying to conceive, taking an i-Pill (emergency contraceptive) is generally the safer option.
Because your period has just ended, the chance of pregnancy is lower, but it is not zero. Sperm can survive in the reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and if you ovulate earlier than expected, pregnancy is possible.
Advice:
Take the i-Pill as soon as possible (it works best within 24 hours, and can be taken up to 72 hours; some brands are effective up to 120 hours).
Do not rely on the fact that your period just ended as contraception.
If your next period is more than 1 week late, take a pregnancy test.
If you can tell me which day of your period it was (e.g. last day or 2 days after it ended) and your usual cycle length (28, 30, 32 days?), I can estimate the pregnancy risk more accurately.

Having unprotected intercourse with ejaculation inside the vagina can result in pregnancy even if the period has just ended. The risk may be lower in the early part of the cycle for someone with a regular, longer cycle, but it is not zero, because ovulation can occur earlier than expected and sperm can survive for several days. Therefore, you should not rely on âjust finished my periodâ as contraception.
Next Steps
If the intercourse occurred within the last 72 hours, levonorgestrel emergency contraception (i-Pill) can be taken as soon as possible. Emergency contraceptive options can also work up to 5 days after intercourse, although effectiveness depends on the method and timing. If avoiding pregnancy is important, I would not skip emergency contraception solely because your period has just ended. If you tell me the first day of your last period, your usual cycle length, and exactly how many hours ago the intercourse occurred, I can help assess the pregnancy risk more precisely. For better treatment and personalised guidance, you may connect with us at 9 3 1 5 6 6 1 5 6 5 for proper treatment and guidance.
Health Tips
Emergency contraception may temporarily alter the timing or flow of the next period, so some change afterward can be normal. If you take emergency contraception and your next period is more than 1 week late, or if you remain concerned, perform a pregnancy test about 3 weeks after the unprotected intercourse. Going forward, use condoms or a reliable regular contraceptive method rather than depending on cycle timing alone. Thank you
