After having sexual intercourse with my boyfriend twice in a row, we both cleaned ourselves thoroughly after the first time.
During the second time, we had unprotected sex, and I felt a bit unable to hold back when he was about to ejaculate.
I'm not sure if any semen entered, but there was a lot of lubricant inside the vagina.
The semen during the second ejaculation was thinner than the first.
Afterward, we both cleaned ourselves again, including my vagina.
I also purchased ovulation test strips, which indicated that I had not ovulated.
I would like to know what the chances are of pregnancy in this situation.

More Info

When considering the chances of pregnancy after two consecutive unprotected intercourse sessions, several factors come into play. First, it's important to understand the timing of ovulation in relation to the menstrual cycle. Ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before the start of a woman's next menstrual period. If intercourse happens during the fertile window, which is usually a few days leading up to and including ovulation, the chances of conception increase significantly.

In your case, you mentioned that you used ovulation test strips, which indicated that you were not ovulating at the time of intercourse. This is a crucial piece of information because if you are not ovulating, the likelihood of becoming pregnant is considerably lower, even with unprotected sex. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, so if you had intercourse just before ovulation, there could still be a chance of pregnancy if ovulation occurs shortly after.

Regarding the specifics of your situation, you noted that during the second intercourse, there was a concern about whether any semen entered the vagina, especially since you mentioned the presence of a significant amount of lubricant. While lubricants can affect sperm motility, they do not inherently prevent pregnancy if sperm is present. However, if ejaculation did not occur inside the vagina, the chances of pregnancy are reduced.

It's also worth noting that washing the genital area after intercourse does not guarantee that sperm has been completely removed or that pregnancy will not occur. Sperm can travel quickly, and even a small amount can lead to conception if it is present in the vaginal canal during the fertile window.

In summary, if you are not ovulating, the chances of pregnancy are low, even with unprotected intercourse. If you are trying to conceive, tracking your ovulation more closely can help improve your chances. If you have concerns about your menstrual cycle or fertility, consulting with a healthcare provider or a fertility specialist can provide personalized guidance and support.

In addition, if you are actively trying to conceive, consider the following tips:
1. Track Your Cycle: Use a calendar or an app to track your menstrual cycle, noting the days of your period and any signs of ovulation, such as changes in cervical mucus or basal body temperature.

2. Use Ovulation Kits: Continue using ovulation test strips to identify your fertile window more accurately. These kits can help you determine the best days for intercourse.

3. Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, as these factors can influence fertility.

4. Consult a Specialist: If you have been trying to conceive for several months without success, consider consulting a fertility specialist for further evaluation and assistance.

Ultimately, while the chances of pregnancy in your described situation may be low, understanding your cycle and maintaining open communication with your partner about family planning can help you achieve your goals.
