A member asked:

Is the girl pregnant if she has menstruation a week after unprotected sex?

Pregnant??: In order to know for sure if you are pregnant or not the most accurate test is a blood HCG level. Do not rely on bleeding alone as many women do have bleeding during pregnancy.

Probably not: If period is regular and you don't use contraception you ovulate about 2 weeks before your next period. Your egg stays alive for 24 hours (sperm for 48 hours). Bleeding is not necessarily abnormal in pregnancy; it could be the egg implanting in the uterus. So do a pregnancy test 4 weeks after the unprotected sex and start some contraception. Morning after pill works only till 72 hours after sex.
