What's happeningin my sex condition - #22992

Deepak

Doctor, my girlfriend’s last period was on 1st May. We had protected sex on 21st May, but the condom burst. I gave her i-Pill within 1 hour. Then on 25th May, we again had sex with a condom and used the withdrawal method, but the condom broke again. I did not ejaculate inside in either case. Her cycle is usually 30–32 days. Can ovulation occur on 25th May despite taking i-Pill on 21st? Could this delay ovulation? What’s the pregnancy risk? Can precum cause pregnancy in such a situation? Please help with a percentage risk.

It sounds like you're understandably concerned about the chances of pregnancy here. Let’s try to break down what's happening. Given your girlfriend's cycle of 30–32 days, ovulation typically occurs around the 15th or 16th day of her cycle. Since her last period was on May 1st, ovulation might have been around May 16th-17th. However, cycles can vary and stress or medication like i-Pill can potentially delay it.

The i-Pill, an emergency contraceptive, is designed to prevent or delay ovulation if taken before the ovum is released. Since it was taken on 21st May - around possibly Day 21, it's likely that her ovulation was already past. Yet, it’s not a 100% guarantee that everything is shifts late, but It decreases risk significantly. 

Now, regarding the sperm presence, pre-ejaculatory fluid, while containing fewer sperms, can theoretically lead to pregnancy, though it's quite a lower risk compared to full ejaculation. The fact that no ejaculation occurred inside in both cases reduces risks significantly. 

Estimating a precise percentage risk isn't totally straight forward due to individual variances and circumstances, but combining the protective methods (i-Pill and withdrawal) and the typical dates for ovulation, the risk would likely be on the lower side, often estimated around a few percent or possibly less.

Be mindful that emergency contraceptive pills are a tool for occasional use and reliance on them regularly isn't advisable. It's good to consider consistent contraception methods for future to avoid concerns like this. Should there be further deviations in her menstrual cycle or more anxiety about the situation, consulting a healthcare provider is always wise. They might suggest a pregnancy test or further evaluation to ease any uncertainties which arise.
