Q: 

I had sex about a week or two before my expected period, what are the chances I'm pregnant? And can you have a period, and still be pregnant?

I don't know the exact date of my last period, but I believe it was around August 18th. I've always had a very irregular cycle, going anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks between periods. I had unprotected sex and my boyfriend came inside me on September 11th & 15th. I have several questions. What are the chances that I am pregnant?? At what point, if I don't get my period, should I take a pregnany test (& the results be accurate)?? Is it possible that I might get my period anyway, and still be pregnant? I've read that it is possible, but it's usually an irregular period. Mine are usually fairly light & only last about 3 days. What might be different if I am still pregnant? Also, I can usually tell when I am about to start, I get really awful cramps for about a week before hand. I have not had this at all or any other signs that I might be getting ready to start my period, or that I might be pregnant. Except that I have had to pee a lot. Any information and advice would be helpful, thanks!

The lady said if you have a period you are not pregnant. I disagree. Let me tell you why. With my first child I had periods throughout my pregnancy. Yes its rare but it does and can happen. They were not heavy though or lasted no more then 4 days out of the month. With my other two kids I've always had 1 last period. I hope this puts your mind at ease. Let nature take its course. And when the time is right you will get pregnant good luck.

I had sex Apr. 10 with my boyfriend on the week I expecting my period because i always expect it on the day 7,8,9/10 every month and now it's been 2 days after we had sex and I ask him if he finished inside me or not and he said he didn't finished inside me. BUT now I'm always go to comfort room to take a pee every minute or it's because of drinking plenty of water or because of my UTI? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHAT TO THINK . maybe i'm just over thinking. or I need to wait a couple of days before I react. PLEASE help me by answering my question. thanks
