: If you had a period since having sex, you are not pregnant from that episode of sex. If you have any concern, do a home pregnancy test 3 weeks after the episode of sex. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. Consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
