thank you sir

Answer
Dear Nair,
There is a chance of getting pregnant.  The best thing would be to check a pregnancy test.  Buy the test with two kits. Take one today.  If it is positive, it could be from the last pregnancy.  Take it again in one week.  If the line is lighter or negative there is nothing to worry about.  If it is more positive, then you should get checked.  By then, you may have gotten your period.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
