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!

Okay so I'm in the same boat. I had unprotected sex like 10 days before my period but ever since I got off my period (April 5th) I've felt like im going to throw up and it feels like I'm cramping but worse. Could i be pregnant? Ive been getting kinda dizzy too. And headaches. I dont know what to go. Any answers?

Hi , me and my husband are trying to have a baby we have had sex two weeks before my period was to start , 3 different times. I tested 6 days before my mensutral which was April 6th and 1 day before my menstral (today april 11th) using a first response test both times abd they were both negative . my period is due tomorrow April 12th . Is there any chance I could still be pregnant and its to early to tell?

Hello Anonymous,

Have you started your period yet?

If not, wait until it is late by at least one week, and test again. Or simply call your gynecologist and have a blood pregnancy test ordered.

Good luck,
Maryann

If i had unprotected sex using the withdrawal method and had a normal period 10 days later, what are my chances of still being pregnant?
