Concern about pregnancy risk and possible infection after intercourse

Client_61ea2d

On 26 January, we had intercourse attempt. There was no ejaculation inside and no deep penetration. I took an i-pill on 28 January. My expected period date was 29–30 January, but I got proper bleeding on 3 February which lasted 3–4 days and was slightly heavier than usual. Four days after my periods ended, I started having vomiting, fever, and lower abdominal pain. Vomiting mostly happens after eating. I am also feeling weakness. What is the risk of pregnancy in this situation? Could this be an infection instead?

How long have you been experiencing these symptoms?:

- Less than 1 week

Have you experienced any changes in your menstrual cycle since then?:

- No, it is normal

Have you had any other symptoms besides vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain?:

- Yes, fatigue

Hello

Pregnancy risk is extremely low.

You: Had no ejaculation inside Took an I-pill within 48 hours Got proper bleeding on 3 Feb for 3–4 days (heavier than usual)

That bleeding strongly suggests you are not pregnant.

Your current symptoms (vomiting, fever, lower abdominal pain, weakness) are more likely due to an infection, such as: Stomach infection (gastroenteritis) Urinary infection Viral fever

Pregnancy does not cause fever.

What to do: Stay hydrated Eat light food If fever or abdominal pain continues more than 2–3 days, see a doctor for evaluation and urine/blood tests

If worried, you can take one pregnancy test for reassurance, but chances are very low.

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

Hello dear See pregnancy risk is extremely low It can be attributed to Absence of ejaculation Ocd taken within ,48 hrs Absence of ovulation So the symptoms are not pregnancy but seems viral or bacterial infection. So please be assured No pregnancy will occur Regards

Intercourse on 26 January with no ejaculation inside and no deep penetration

You took Levonorgestrel emergency contraception (I-pill) within 48 hours (good protection)

You then had proper bleeding on 3 February for 3–4 days, heavier than usual

A normal or heavier menstrual period after taking emergency contraception strongly indicates you are not pregnant. Pregnancy would usually stop or significantly reduce bleeding, not cause a full normal period.

So pregnancy is very unlikely.

Based on the information provided, the risk of pregnancy seems quite low in this situation. First, you mentioned that there was no ejaculation inside and not deep penetration, which significantly reduces the likelihood of sperm entering the reproductive tract. Secondly, you took an emergency contraceptive pill, commonly known as i-pill, which is most effective when taken within 72 hours after intercourse. The fact that you took the pill on the 28th of January after the attempt on the 26th suggests that you acted promptly, and it should have added a significant layer of protection against pregnancy. Additionally, you experienced what sounds like a menstrual period on 3 February, which, despite being later than expected, was characterized by proper bleeding and lasts within a normal range of 3–4 days. This further decreases the likelihood of pregnancy, as it indicates the shedding of the uterine lining.

However, the symptoms you’re experiencing, such as vomiting, fever, lower abdominal pain, and weakness, could potentially indicate an infection rather than anything related to pregnancy. Such symptoms might be due to a range of conditions, possibly a gastrointestinal infection or urinary tract infection (UTI), both of which can result in similar manifestations. The timing of these symptoms emerging after your period suggests looking at other causes beyond pregnancy. It’s important to take these symptoms seriously, as they could worsen without appropriate treatment. Vomiting specifically after eating suggests a possible gastrointestinal issue, while the lower abdominal pain could correlate to a UTI or pelvic infection.

Given the complexity of your symptoms and the possible risks, it’s prudent to consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible to provide a thorough examination. They may recommend tests, such as a urine test or ultrasound, to check for infections or any other underlying issues. Meanwhile, maintain hydration, and avoid any self-medication without guidance. If the fever or pain becomes severe or persistent, seek immediate medical attention to prevent complications.
