pregnant?
me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex on the day after my period but that night i started bleeding again. he came inside of me too. so is there a possibility that i may be pregnant..my breast hurt like heck,please help me
ok im back.still paranoid.my boobs hurt like h*** it's not even funny. i never had this happen before.even when my period is approaching they dont even hurt. that is why now, im like, what is wrong with me.lol my stomach started to cramp really bad the other day.upset stomach.i feel like i have to throw up but it jus wont come up.weird.lol.
Hmm... not women with regular cycles. Women with regular cycles usually don't "overlap" their period and ovulation. Having an irregular cycle makes it very possible. And like tarajanes said, it is RARE, but it can happen!
Yeah, that is hard to determine pregnancy! The only way to know will be to test. You can buy a 3 pack of First Response at Walmart for about $13 I think. Take one in the morning. If it is negative, retest in 3 days.
If you keep getting negatives you need to see your doctor again to make sure nothing is wrong with you. Having erratic periods can be a sign of a problem (underweight, overweight, cysts, etc.).
Also, the BC can make you bleed like that. The only way to become pregnant is if you ovulated and the sperm got the egg, you know! So you may not have been ovulating, but again the only way to know is to take a test. Take a test and let us know what happens!

lol ok yea that was a little confusing but i understand where you are coming from.I just want to know what is going on with my body.I know it is too early to even tell but i was just wondering. have you ever heard of people getting pregnant while on their periods if they had regular cycles?

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.

The reason you can become pregnant during a period is if you ovulate during that period. Ovulation is when the egg is released from the ovary, ready for fertilization.
For example, if you ovulate on cycle day 9 and your periods last 10 days, you will be able to become pregnant during that period. You don't count two weeks from when your period ends to know when you ovulate! You count from the FIRST day of your last period.
Sorry if that is confusing, but I want you to understand that it is possible to be pregnant. If you conceive, you can take a pregnancy test two weeks from that date, you won't have to wait until your next period.
That is why I'm asking when your period was, so I can help you figure out when you should take a preg. test.

yes i am 19 but i dont have regular cycles anymore..my last regular cycle was oct. 22nd and then in november it never came. so my doctor but me on provera for ten days.on christmas i had thick bron discharge but no blood yet and long story short it lasted longer than usual and i stopped bleeding on dec. 31st.so i dont know what is going on with me
Any time you have unprotected sex, there's always a chance you could be pregnant. The only way to know for sure is to take a test when your period is due.
depends if your ovulateing.if you have a regular 28 day cycle,then you be ov roughley day 14-16,sperm can only survive in fertile cm for 5 days,so chances are not.bleeding following sex is just the remains of your period,obviously if you have short cycles its possible.
