Hi there,

I spoke to a family planning nurse here at bpas and her advice is that the chances are very, very slim. However, sperm can survive up to 7 days so it does depend on your cycle - you can ovulate during your period but again this is very unlikely. If your next period is late or lighter than usual, you should take a pregnancy test.

It might be useful to know that there are forms emergency contraception which can be used up to 5 days after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy - the coil and the EllaOne morning after pill, which you can get for free from your GP or family planning clinic. We have a guide to all the methods here:

I hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any other questions.

Best wishes,
