am i pregnant?

Question

Last week during the last few days of my period me and my boyfriend decided to "do it". I don't know if i'm pregnant or not. But my im getting headaches and i feel a wierd pain down around my uteris area. Am I just being paranoid?!

Answer 1

yes, you are paranoid. Unless you have a very short menstral cycle (about 23 or less days) then you COULD NOT get pregnant on your period. You can only get pregnant within a day after you ovulate, and an average woman ovulates about 2 weeks (14 day) BEFORE her next period, and sperm can live inside a woman for up to a week. If you learn your cycle you can better learn the chances of being pregnant. Good luck!

Answer 2

The thought of possibly being pregnant could be triggering off the headaches and pain around your uterus....but if you are unsure, do a home pregnancy test around 3-4 days before your next period and see how you go. Doctors say your more fertile 14 days after the start of your cycle so although chances are your most likely not pregnant, there is a possibility. Good luck!

Answer 3

Ok, I did some net searching for you and I found this:
Pregnant During Menstruation
Yes, you can get pregnant on your period, but it's not especially likely. Your most fertile days are mid-cycle.

Here is more input and advice:


It depends. If you're really heavy, the sperm can get washed back out. Moreover, it depends on when you ovulate. Every woman has a different cycle.

Unless you are charting your cycles and you know when you are ovulating then you can potentionaly get pregnant anytime. It's unlikely to get pregnant at that time, but it not a good idea at anytime to have unprotected sex.

It's actually highly unlikely, because of the hormones involved to bring on your period are not conducive to ovulation, of course there is always a possiblity, but it is VERY unlikely.

No, you can't become pregnant during your period because there isn't a egg in a position in which to be fertilised. There isn't a egg because the egg breaks up and causes a period. So it's unlikely to become pregnant during this time.

Absolutely, there's no safe time for a woman to have safe sex! Always keep that in mind!

Yes, especially if you have short cycles. You ovulate about 14 days before your next cycle starts. You are fertile a few days before that. So if you have cycles that are only, for example, 17 days long then you would be ovulating on the third day or so of your cycle -- which for most of us is still period time. If you think you are pregnant, take a test. You can take one anytime after the suspected initial point of conception. However, it may not show the true results until 14 days into it.

Yes, because sperm lives in the body for about 2-3 days. if you have sex for an example on the last day of your period and he ejaculated in you then the sperm would live for another day and thats bad because your period would be gone the next day. If you had sex in the middle of your period then you might not get pregnant. Some girls do some don't. Wait a week after your period and take a pregnancy test. Then wait another week and take another one just to be safe.

Yes! You can get pregnant if your partner ejaculates inside of you, if you are not using any form of birth control (a condom, the pill, the shot, spermacide). Sperm can last/live for several days inside of you and ovulation can occur within a few days of the last day of your period.

Yes, it happened to me & I felt pretty stupid about it; I told my boyfriend that he didn't have to withdraw because you can't get pregnant on your period. Needless to say, we had an unexpected surprise the following month. So yes, you can definitely get pregnant on your period.

Yes, if you have a very short first-phase of your cycle you could be already ovulating whilst the last of your period is draining away. Young women (say under 20) tend to have irregular cycles because the body is still "getting into the groove" of ovulating and menstruating. The irregularity is in the time between the first onset of bleeding and ovulation. From ovulation to bleeding is quite constant at 14 days, but the first part of cycle varies all over the place. I suggest http://www.woomb.org for more information on the menstrual cycle and fertility awareness.

Answer
Very rare that you will become pregnant if you have sex while on your period.

All you can do is wait for your next period and if it doesn't come take a pregnancy test.

Hope this helps,

Answer 4

Most likley you are not. Normally you do not ovulate until around the 15th day of your cycle. You start counting day one on on the first day of your period. A normal cycle is 28 days. If you are going to get headaces during pregnancy, most of the time headaces do not start until you are in or around your second trimester (after 12 weeks pregnant). Also, normally there is no pain in relation to being newly pregnant. I would suggest you make an appointment with you OB/GYN if you have any concerns reguarding your pain or if it becomes worse. You want to make sure you do not have something serious happening.

Answer 5

Sweety i've been through the same thing. but to be honest if you keep thinking it it could just be all in your head but then again pregnancy doesn't happen in a few minutes it takes times then again it can take 7 days but you still wouldn't know the results it takes 7 days for the whole process of sperm and the egg to go through that whole process of bonding. ya know what i mean. but i would wait a few more weeks and go get a pregnancy test good luck

Answer 6

It's not uncommon for a woman's body to begin producing fertile cervical fluid at the end of her period. If you have intercourse w/ this fertile cervical fluid, the sperm can survive up to 5 days. If an egg is released in that time, conception can occur.

Answer 7

Two easy ways to check for pregnancy:

1) Take a pregnancy test

2) See a DOCTOR

Answer 8

It takes a little more than a week to really know. You might want to see a doctor. Use protection if you're not trying to start a family or catch a disease.
