Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Unprotected sex: Even if you have unprotected sex - the risk of pregnancy would be much lower the further you are in time from ovulation. This doesn't mean you have had a miscarriage - nor is it proof of infertility. If you aren't ready for pregnancy - recommended that all further sex be protected.

Dr Willson and another doctor agreed
