A member asked:

I'm on the pill but i had diarrhea for four days before my period which lasted 4 days, but continued on them. i had sex after 3 days, can i pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe not, but...: If worried, a woman can just do a pregnancy test. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly, about 3 weeks after sex (when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. An ob-gyn doctor can evaluate any persistent or worrisome symptoms.
