Can I get pregnant?

Your girlfriend had her period from June 17 to June 23.
You had intercourse on July 4 and July 13, both times without ejaculation and without using a condom.
She then had another period from July 20 to July 26, which was heavier in the first three days and very light in the last four days.
However, on July 30, she reported experiencing abdominal cramping and a decreased appetite.
She also has lactose intolerance and consumed dairy products today, and you are wondering if this could be related.

More Info

Based on the information you've provided, it seems that your girlfriend's menstrual cycle has been relatively regular, with her last period occurring from June 17 to June 23. You mentioned that you had unprotected intercourse on July 4 and July 13, but there was no ejaculation. Following this, she experienced another menstrual cycle from July 20 to July 26, which was heavier at the beginning and lighter towards the end.
The symptoms your girlfriend is experiencing, such as abdominal cramps and decreased appetite, could be attributed to several factors. It's important to note that menstrual cramps can occur during a woman's cycle, and they can vary in intensity from month to month. Additionally, if she has lactose intolerance and consumed dairy products, this could also lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, which might explain her symptoms.

Regarding the possibility of pregnancy, the fact that she had a menstrual period after the unprotected intercourse is a strong indicator that she is not pregnant. Menstrual bleeding typically indicates that the uterine lining is shedding, which occurs when there is no fertilization of an egg. However, it's worth noting that some women can experience light bleeding or spotting during early pregnancy, which can sometimes be mistaken for a period. This is known as implantation bleeding, but it usually occurs around the time of the expected period.

If your girlfriend is experiencing unusual symptoms, such as persistent abdominal pain or significant changes in her menstrual cycle, it would be advisable for her to take a home pregnancy test for reassurance. These tests are generally accurate when taken after a missed period. If the test is negative and her symptoms persist, it would be wise for her to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any other potential issues, such as hormonal imbalances or gastrointestinal problems related to her lactose intolerance.

In summary, while the likelihood of pregnancy seems low given her recent menstrual cycle, it is always best to confirm with a pregnancy test and consult a healthcare professional if there are ongoing concerns. It's essential to prioritize her health and well-being, and open communication about any symptoms or worries can help in addressing them effectively.
