Everyone's cycle is different. There is a myth that woman ovulate 14 days after their period begins...but that is only an AVERAGE and each month can be different. The other thing is that sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days.... so if you are having a shortened cycle one month and you have sex right after your period and you ovulate earlier than day 14 than yes, there is a chance of getting pregnant. The only way to know is to know exactly when you ovulate. There are several ways to know and some are more effective than others. Some can only predict before ovulation happens and some can only predict that is has already happened. The absolute best info I can give you is to go read a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! . It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not.
My husband and I tried for 1 year and had no luck..… We tried ovulation predictors , laying with pillows under me for 20 min. everything……the first month that I began using the book I realized that my timing was WRONG!. We got pregnant that very first month and I am now due Feb 2, 2007. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths! Even if you don't get into charting and everything....it will help you in so many ways!

Yes, you can. The saying is that you ovulate 14 days after the first day of your period. But, I i got pregnant the first day my period started. I seen on websites that you can't get pregnant on your period. Well, I did. I have normal periods. So I know that really has nothing to do with it.
You can never tell. So, there is a possibility than you can become pregnant. If you don't want to become pregnant and you had intercourse less than 72 hours ago, I recommend that you take the Plan B pill. ( This must be prescribed from your doctor or you can set an appointment right away at Planned Parenthood in your area.)
Good Luck!
Note:
You are not neccessarly pregnant. But, just to be on the safe side, I would take precautions.
You should also make an appointment with your doctor to get on some sort of birth control or you can just use spermicides and condoms. Which ever works best for you.

Sure if that is when YOU ovulate. The standard is 14 days of first day of period - I ovulated at day 20 and got pregnant...don't rule anything out.

Yes. You can get pregnant at any time but the chances are smaller at certain times.
