Hi Elaine
You refer to your period tracker, but didn't say what your period tracker indicated about being fertile on 25th.
However, if your period is due to start on 30th, then 25th would not likely be a fertile day; it would suggest you ovulated 16th.
Nevertheless, anytime you have sex there is the possibility of pregnancy following. For instance, (1) you could have ovulated 9 days later than expected (25th); (2) You could ovulate twice in one month - (say) any of the days 25th-29th. So it is not impossible, but it is unlikely you would get pregnant.
I assume your last period started 5th Jan and the previous one started 11th Dec, and that your periods are always on time (within a day or two).
Have you considered using a diaphragm as contraception?
Most EC pills are 3-day (there is also 5-day), and the earlier taken the more effective they are likely to be, but they are not 100% guaranteed. The EC pill is likely to affect when your next period starts, and indeed the next few periods could be unpredictable.
I hope this helps.
Thank you, my period tracker said it wasn't on a fertile day. Still, better safe than sorry. I went and got a plan B pill and got many stares along with it... yikes! Thank you for your help.
Pleased to help
i had unprotected sex a week befor my period can i be pregnant?
i have the same problem my doctor says u need a blood test
Can you be more specific as to what you mean? You haven't given any dates.
Do you mean you had sex 7 days before your period is due, but that date has not yet arrived?
Do you mean you had sex 7 days before your period was due, but that date has passed and your period has not yet arrived?
Do you mean you had sex 7 days before your period arrived?
What date did your last period start?
What date did you have unprotected sex?
Have you had sex at other times since your last period?
How long is your cycle (typically 28 days)?
Hi Debbie
Liz doesn't need a blood test now as her incident was well over two years ago.
However, if you have had a similar incident, and your period has arrived, then the chances are you are not pregnant. If your period has not arrived, then wait until the expected start date has passed and take a DIY test. If you don't know when it is due, then take a test 21 days after your last sex.
hi, I'll be 42 few months from now, had unprotected sex today and he had it inside me. I'm expecting my period on the 24 of this month. i usually had a 28-30 day cycle. is there a chance that i could get pregnant?
Anytime you have sex there is the chance of pregnancy following. However, if your period were actually due 24th, then it indicates ovulation on 10th, so you would not have been fertile on 17th. However, if you ovulated a week late, then you could have been. You are now probably starting to get ready for the menopause, which could happen in the next 10 years (often about age 50), and your cycles could begin to lengthen any time now. On the other hand, you are likely to be less fertile than when you were younger. I hope this helps
Hi, I'm 26. I had unprotected sex on Feb 8th & my period tracker showed I was fertile. I've been having a lot of pregnacy symptoms & I thought I was so I took a test on Feb 20th but it was negative. My period came on Feb 25th normal flow the first 2 days & very light the last 4 days. But I'm still having these symptoms...swollen Breast, smelling everything, nausea in the morning & crazy mood swings. Do you think I can be pregnant?
Thank you
Hi Confused. There is the possibility you might be pregnant. If your period came on 25th when expected, you would probably have been fertile on 8th Feb and could may well have ovulated 11th Feb.
If your egg were fertilised following ovulation, it may only just have implanted on 20th (the day you took the test). That day was too early for a reliable result.
From what you say, your period was not completely normal, so although a period would usually come because you have not become pregnant, it is no guarantee. Some have periods despite being pregnant, although then they are often different.
I suggest you take another test now.
I hope this helps.
Had sex on the 9, 14, 23. My periods are irregular and really can't remember when my period was but i know it was defo over a month ago. Keep getting cramp but not like when I'm due on. I've been of my food a few days ago. Am slightly more tiered than usual... Is there the possibility I'm pregnant if so when should I take a test. Due surgery next month so need to make sure before then. X
Yes, you could possibly be pregnant, but as you don't know when your period is due, then it is difficult to have any degree of certainty. However, if you test 3 weeks after your last sex, then that should be reliable. A fortnight after ovulation is a good time to test, but as you don't know when that was, then (sperm can live up to 6 days in a woman's body) 14+6 days should allow for that. So 23rd Feb + 20 days = 15th March. So I suggest testing 16th March. You could test today and a positive result could be relied on, but not a negative one.
I hope this helps
Thank you that's great. Got my pre op on the 16th so hoping if it's positive that it will show up then so I know before I'm meant to have surgery. Thanks for your help. Will let you know what happens. X
Pleased to help. I hope all goes well with your surgery. Do you feel free to say what the op is?
