Specializes in General Practice

Pregnancy risk: If you have regular periods (same number of days between them) you likely ovulate and are fertile 12-16 days after your period starts but you could still get pregnant. If it's less than 72 hours ago go get plan B to really minimize you chances and consider std testing if you're unsure
