My fiance and I had unprotected sex just hours before I knew I was due on my period. I got my period as predicted but it was much shorter than normal (only about 4 days rather than the normal 8). What I want to know is would I have still had my period if I did become pregnant on that occasion? I think it's too soon to bother the doctor as it's only been a couple of weeks and it's surely too soon for a home test to be accurate.

Try a home test, two weeks should be enough to have a readable amount of the pregnancy hormone.
You can get pregnant on any day of your cycle, but if your period came straight after having sex, then I would say that it is VERY unlikely that you are pregnant.
You are most likely to get pregnant in the middle of your cycle.
Your period could have been lighter for a number of reasons, but although many women get bleeding when they are pregnant (called spotting it is when the fertilised egg attaches itself to the lining of the womb) it is usually very light and only lasts a day or two.
I believe what you had was just a light period.
All the best,
xxx

Periods After Sex

I had sex with my ex a day or 2 before I started my period. My period lasted 2 days instead of 6. I was pregnant. It takes a while for the sperm to fertilize the egg and then implant. You might want to take a test or go see a doctor. Some women do have their periods a couple of months before they find they are pregnant. It is very possible that you are pregnant. Better to be safe than sorry.

If this was your first time, your body has been "shocked". Don't worry...you are most likely not pregnant. You ovulate 12-16 days after the first day of your period, so you should be fine. The more you worry, the more tense your body will be, and you will be late for your next period. Wait until your next period is 2 or 3 days late before you spend money on a pregnancy test.

Bottom line, anytime you have unprotected sex you could get pregnant. Tracking ovulation is very tricky - all women are different and it's hard to pinpoint exactly when an egg is discarded in the menstrual cycle. It is possible to spot, or have light periods when you are pregnant. For future reference, there is an emergency contraceptive that can be taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex. It would be easier to find a dependable form of birth control - if you don't want to be pregnant yet.

It's very doubtful that you are pregnant. Home tests have become really good (even a couple of weeks after conception) so if you are still in doubt, try one. Answer is a brand that's not too expensive (Walgreens, Savon, Target) so if you want peace of mind try one. If you're trying to become pregnant, you're usually most fertile two weeks after the start of your period. Sometime periods are a little weird due to all kinds of reasons (stress, etc.)

I don't think so because you were already gettin rid of the egg so the sperm basically went "to the valley of fertilization" only to realize that there was a "No Homes For Sale Here" sign and they found themselves stuck in a corner not knowing what in the heck t'do.
The sperm all probably were running by the egg as it was on its journey to Maxipadland.
Next time, try two days before your expected period day if yah want to get pregnant.

If you had it hours before being due for your period you can be pregnant. The sperm takes 72 hours before reaching the egg. Thats probably why your period only came 4 days. If you have spotting then you are pregnant. Spotting is light bleeding due to the egg implanting itself in the uterus. In one ejaculation 8 billion sperm are released from his semen. I think the best thing to do is wait a week then take a test. Goodluck

You should start by not wanting to get pregnant, just have sex everyday or every other day and don't think about getting pregnant, just have fun with your partner. Get more useful information and guides to get pregnant here https://tr.im/0ih2Q
after sex-put a pillow under your butt or prop your feet up on the wall so your pelvis is tilted
eat healthy
back off caffiene
workout, even if its just a 20 minute walk a day, be active.

You should probably wait to see if you miss your next period. A short period happens due to so many factors, usually stress. Maybe you were worrying about whether you were pregnant, and the worry effected the length of your period, who knows? Give it some time.
