1 week before missed period, can i still prevent pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy: 1 week before the start of your next period is probably unlikely to avoid getting pregnant. If you had unprotected intercourse pregnancy is always a possibility. There are medications that can be used up to 3-5 days after unprotected intercourse to help avoid getting pregnant. If this timeframe already passed , it may be too late to use it. See your obgyn for proper evaluation ; counseling asap.
