Can You Get Pregnant from Oral Sex Before Your Period? - Obstetrics and Gynecology

Feeling a bit anxious?


Hello doctor, I would like to ask if having intercourse with a condom on the day before my period starts, without ejaculation inside but with oral sex after removing the condom, could lead to pregnancy? (My period started the next day.) Also, I have been experiencing an increasing appetite; does this indicate pregnancy?

More Info


When it comes to the question of whether you can get pregnant from oral sex before your period, the answer is generally no, especially in the context you've provided. If you had intercourse with a condom that was used correctly throughout, and there was no ejaculation inside the vagina, the risk of pregnancy is extremely low.
To elaborate, pregnancy occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg, which typically happens during ovulation. For women with regular menstrual cycles, ovulation usually occurs around 14 days before the start of their next period. If your period is due the day after the sexual activity, it is likely that you are not in your fertile window. The chances of becoming pregnant from oral sex are virtually nonexistent, as sperm would need to travel from the mouth to the vagina, which is highly unlikely.

Regarding your concern about increased appetite, it is important to note that changes in appetite can be influenced by various factors, including hormonal changes, stress, and lifestyle. While some women may experience increased hunger or cravings in early pregnancy, it is not a definitive sign of pregnancy, especially if your period is expected imminently.
In summary, based on your description—using a condom correctly, no internal ejaculation, and the timing of your menstrual cycle—the likelihood of pregnancy is very low. If you are still concerned about the possibility of being pregnant, it would be advisable to wait until after your expected period to take a home pregnancy test for the most accurate results.
If you have further questions or concerns about your reproductive health, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.
