unprotected sex after period or ovulation spotting???

OK, my girlfirend had her period on the first week of Nov, and we had unprotected sex approx 1 week after she was done her period.  she decided to take the "Morning after pill/Plan B Pill" to be on the safe side.  She ended up gettin her period early.  We had unprotected sex again after her period, but we are not sure if it was a real period or just heavy spotting.  She was bleeding kinda heavy for 4 days.  She is postive that its not spotting, thats its a full period.

Can she still get pregant if we had sex 1 day after her early period? or ovulation spotting?

Hi.

Yes, she can get pregnant at any time during her cycle--especially if that cycle isn't regular or is affected by Plan B. Lots of variables affect a woman's menstrual cycle (stress, travel, etc.), so there's no way to be sure exactly when she's ovulating except by a complex method.

Let's see: you dodged a bullet at the beginning of November when having unprotected p-v sex, and NOW you're doing it again? Do you have a death wish?

Use effective risk reduction/birth control or don't engage in risky sexual behavior. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time before you and your girlfriend are dealing with pregnancy. Dr. J

I suppose there could be confusion as to if it was a normal period or not. Not being familiar with planB and what affects it usually has on the body. It's difficult to say what it could be, but i wantef to refer to your pregnancy question... A woman can get pregnant anytime sex is not protected. Of course there are more opportune times, when the body is ovulating or her period has recently ended. Sperm can live longer when exposed to blood. If this is another close call and works out best for your situation, consider it a lesson in risk. You entry reads as though you are trying to avoid pregnancy so take steps to prevent it! Check with a professional about birth control options or use a condom!

btw, can girls tell the difference between regular spotting, implantation and full regular period????    Since the Morning after pill messes up the whole cycle.. Can she mistaken that the 4 days or mid-heavy spotting for a real period?
