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!

Hello Anonymous,

There would be a chance of pregnancy if you had unprotected sex during ovulation not three days after your period was due to start.

Hello Anonymous,

Pretty good chance if you are ovulating at that time.

Hello Anonymous,

If your periods are regular, but your next one is late by at least one week, test for pregnancy.

Had unprotected sex 2 weeks before my expected period. My period did come. However, Is it a possibility that I am pregnant even though I did begin my cycle ?

My menstrual is a 28 day cycle. My period started from the 4/4/2017 to 8/4/2017. Which meant I was most fertile during 16-18th of April. Where I would ovulate between those dates. I obviously had intercourse during that period, yes sperm can live for several days. I'm unaware when an egg fertilised and if one has implanted. I'm eating way to much, I've missed my period as it was due 2nd of May, now being 29 days. My question is "Can you fall pregnant two weeks before your period" cause technically this would be the third week since I had sex with this person, how can I miss a period if it takes 4 weeks to fall pregnant to find out your positively pregnant. I show no signs and symptoms of morning sickness, nausea, just sleep deprived and awfully hungry. Is this possible?
