my last period was on sept 13 ended around the 18-19 i stopped taking bc (yasmin) after the 17th because i was in the hospital and forgot to bring my bc, I had unprotected sex on the 20th and on the 24th but he pulled out on this day. I am really worried that i might be pregnant bc i got pregnant in June i was also not taking my bc except that time i was off the pill for a month this time i was taking the bc normally since july and got my period in July, Aug, and Sept. but missed my pills after the 17th of sept. Could i be pregnant again? I am not feeling any symptons at all, like i did last time i found out i was pregnant. And i should be getting my period next week the 11th if it continues the 28 days. Please someone help me out. I dont understand the whole 28 days/ovulating thing either, so if someone could be so kind to explain that to me as well and if i was in my dangerous days that would be a lot of help. Thanks so much!!

A woman's monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of her next period. On average, a woman's cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter cycles or much longer ones. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the day the last menstrual period (LMP) starts or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 - Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP. This is what many refer to as the "fertile time" of a woman's cycle, because sexual intercourse during this time increases the chance of pregnancy. Ovulation can occur at various times during a cycle, and may occur on a different day each month.

If you had unprotected sex, you could be pregnant. It is as simple as that without reading all of the extra stuff.

Generally speaking you ovulate, 14 days after that you have your period (assuming your not pregnant of course) and then 14 days after that you ovulate again. Making 28 days from period to period. That is of course generally speaking and assuming your period is very regular. You could ovulate in less than 14 days you could ovulate in more than 14 days. You could get pregnant during your period, although I think that is very rare.

What goes on in that miraculous body of yours in any given 28 days? Read on.
The very short version:
Egg ripens. Egg leaves ovary. Egg travels down the fallopian tube toward uterus. If egg goes unfertilized, you get your period.

The long version:

Day 1: Your period starts.
For whatever reason, Day 1 of your cycle is counted as the first day you see that telltale spot of blood. Generally this happens every 28 days or so (though like everything else, cycles vary by person). If in that time the egg in your uterus does not get fertilized by a sperm, the egg disintegrates and is expelled from your body. On Day 1, your cramps are probably at their worst as your uterus contracts to push out the egg and the cells and blood that nurtured and fed the egg as it grew.
Day 1 to 14: Called the estrogen phase of the menstrual cycle.
The day you get your period, your body's estrogen level is at its lowest, and from there it starts to go up. Your brain sends a signal to your pituitary gland, which releases a hormone called FSH, or Follicle Stimulating Hormone. When the follicles in your ovaries sense the FSH, they munch happily away at it. This makes them produce estrogen. The estrogen causes one of the hundreds of tiny, slumbering eggs inside the ovaries to start developing.
Day 2-5: Bleeding, bleeding, bleeding.
Less so each day.
Day 6: Egg be gone!
The bleeding has usually stopped by now. Meanwhile, the stimulated, FSH-happy egg is maturing and getting ready for ovulation.
Day 7-12: La, la, la, you go about your life.
The egg, meanwhile, is growing, and the follicle is expanding to accommodate it. The follicle is still producing estrogen, which makes the lining of your uterus nice and puffy and spongy--if you were to get pregnant, this lining would provide the fertilized egg with the food it needs to grow into a baby.
Day 13-14: Ovulation!!
The new egg has reached maturity and exits the follicle just rarin' to go. You might actually feel it when you ovulate--a little twinge or cramp in your lower abdomen or back. It's called mittelschmerz, which is German for "middle pain." You may see a teeny drop of blood. This is probably fine, but if you're concerned, see your doctor. Your body temperature rises up to one degree and stays up until you get your period. The natural mucus covering your cervix (the entrance to your uterus) starts to thin out so the sperm can get through and fertilize the egg.
Day 15-18: The egg takes a trip.
The days when the egg travels down the fallopian tube, usually Days 12-17 or so, are when you're most likely to get pregnant. While the egg's in the tube, your estrogen level drops again and the follicles begin producing progesterone. Unsurprisingly, this is called the progesterone phase.
Day 19-20: Your uterus prepares for pregnancy. The progesterone makes the fluid around your cervix thicken up again and tells your uterus to build up the protein, sugar and blood necessary to nourish a fertilized egg. Progesterone is a big ingredient in PMS, so you may start feeling a little crabby and your skin might break out a little.
Day 21-28: The progesterone and estrogen are still increasing, so you may feel soreness in your breasts, bloating and food cravings. One theory holds that your body hankers for carbohydrates because they'd come in handy if you were indeed pregnant. You might want to avoid salt right now, because if you're bloated already, salt will make you retain even more water. If the egg remains unfertilized, your estrogen and progesterone levels drop, and both the egg and the endometrium dissolve. Cramps begin, bringing you back to Day 1: Your period starts.

If an egg was fertilized, implantation (when the embryo implants to the lining of your uterus) happens, on average, about 7 days past ovulation. It can happen as early as five days past ovulation or as late as twelve days past ovulation.

Early signs of Pregnancy:

Nausea/vomiting
Headache
Food cravings
Heightened sense of smell
Missed period
Backache
Crampy
Extreme fatigue
Tender/swollen breasts
Frequent trips to the bathroom

These signs can appear as soon as implantation or anytime after, each woman is different! Some women have all of these, some have a few and some women don't have any signs.
Good Luck!

really the only way to know for sure if you're pregnant is to take a test. your chances of getting pregnant are greater 14 days after your last period, but its not a guarunteed science. If you buy "first response" it will give you pretty acurate results up to 5 days before you miss your period, so if you're SUPER anxious about it you can do that.
