Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. The chances of pregnancy depends your partner’s cycle. If the unprotected sex occurred while your partner is in the middle of her menstrual cycle, around ovulation (fertile) time, the chance of pregnancy is greater. If she is just prior to or having her period, then the chance of pregnancy is lower.
Condoms, when used correctly & consistently, can be very effective at preventing pregnancy. Your partner may want to consider starting a long term, reliable method of birth control, like the pills or DepoProvera injection. Keep in mind, abstinence is the only 100% effective method of birth control. There are many ways, other than sexual intercourse, to be intimate within a relationship.
