Any time that you have sex there is always a chance for pregnancy. At different times of the month throughout your cycle that chance can increase or decrease. Because sperm can live in a woman’s body for a couple of days it is impossible to know for sure what your chances might be at any given time.
Many women assume that if they are using contraception, they cannot become pregnant. However, no type of contraception is 100% effective and the chance for pregnancy is never eliminated if you are or have been sexually active.
One of the most common signs of pregnancy is a missed period. While pregnancy can cause a missed period, it is not the thing that could cause it. However, if the woman has been sexually active, the possibility of pregnancy should not be ruled out.
