Is it possible to have your regular period and then find out you are pregnant within days of it being over?

Answer 1

Yes - sometimes girls even get another two "normal" periods after already being pregnant!

Answer 2

It's possible — but highly unlikely. You'd have to have a very short menstrual cycle, which is the time from the first day of one period to the first day of the next period, or a tendency to have long periods. This would bring the time of ovulation closer to the time when you would start bleeding.

Conception occurs when an egg and sperm meet in a fallopian tube. Sometime during the middle of your menstrual cycle, most likely between the 12th and 16th days, an egg reaches maturity in one of the two ovaries. The ovary releases the egg into the abdomen, where it's quickly sucked up by the tulip-shaped opening of the nearest fallopian tube.

An egg can survive in your fallopian tube for about 24 hours after it's released from the ovary. So the only way you can get pregnant is if sperm are present in your fallopian tube during this window of opportunity. If the egg isn't fertilized, it's shed along with your uterine lining during your period.

Typically, when you have your period, another egg is developing in preparation for release during the current cycle. But not every woman's cycle length is the same. Many women have a cycle that's about 28 days long, but some have cycles as short as 22 days long. If you have a shorter cycle, you could ovulate just a few days after you have your period. And considering that sperm can survive in your reproductive tract for up to three days, it's theoretically possible for the sperm to hang around until you ovulate again.

It's also possible to mistake breakthrough bleeding — spotting between your periods — for a regular period. So you may be bleeding right at the time of ovulation, when you're most fertile.

The time that it takes for an egg to develop, or mature, within the ovary can vary, and therefore, the actual day of ovulation can vary by several to many days. Some ovulation kits also base the "fertile time" on rising estrogen levels rather than the peak of luteinizing hormone, or LH, which is the actual trigger for egg release. In those situations the "fertile time" may seem to be longer.

Answer 3

It is possible, but highly unlikely. You said "regular period" which means to me that it's not different in any way from the usual. When women are pregnant and they still get a "period", it's not really a period, but rather implantation bleeding from the fertilized egg implanting itself in the walls of the uterus. Implantation bleeding differs from a period in that it is usually much lighter and doesn't last very long. If that sounds like what you had then you should take a pregnancy test.

Answer 4

Yes it is possible. A friend of mine continued to have her period into her 5th month of pregnancy. She had no idea she was even pregnant until the baby starting kicking! What a surprise!

Answer 5

Yes its 100% possible. It happens you can get pregnant anytime, On your period, 3 days after or 2 days before..anytime it doesnt really matter. everyone ovulates at different times. Good Luck

Answer 6

Yes. Anything is possible. Take an HPT or go to the doctor if you want to know for sure.

Answer 9

YES -- I had period with BOTH of my kids (just the one month) --- the color was different -- more of a red/brown (which is quite common).....hope this helps.

Answer 10

Yes, I've heard about that happening. I think you can have your period three months or so into being pregnant.
