Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

4 days prior: To the start of her anticipated period or on day 4 of her period? The bottom line is to never - say never where sex and pregnancy are concerned. Even if unlikely to occur at these times - stranger things have happened. Use protection every time if you are not ready for pregnancy.
