Can you get pregnant the last day of your period?

by Unbreakable09, Nov 24, 2007 01:46PM
I am on no type of birth control, what so ever, and i was wondering if i could get pregnant the last day of my period. My boyfriend & I had sex last, no protection, and he came inside of me. I was wondering how much of a possibility it could be that i might end up pregnant.

Yes, there is a chance you could get pregnant from having sex on the last day of your period. It all depends on when you ovulate. How long are your cycles, and how many days do you usually have your period?

I start the last week of every month.. and go for about 6 days.

by Heather5, Nov 24, 2007 09:05PM
OK, I guess that means your cycles are about 30 days then, since most months are around 30 days, and it sounds like you get it the same time every month. That probably means you ovulate about 14 days prior to the first day of your period, which means around cycle day 16 or so. So you're probably OK then, since you had sex on day 6, and you most probably don't ovulate until day 16.

In other words, I don't think you have to worry too much. Chances are very low that you would get pregnant. The only way you could get pregnant from that would be if for some reason you ovulate much earlier than normal this month. But if I were you, I would definitely use a condom or some other form of protection in the future, even if you're on your period...just in case :-)

Take care!

YES you can.

by Unbreakable09, Nov 25, 2007 03:20PM
thanks for the comments, much appreciated.



btw.. spade, i take it thats happened to you or you know someone its happened too?

by spade22, Nov 25, 2007 05:33PM
It hasn't happened to me but it happened to my friend - Anytime you have unprotected sex, you run the risk of getting pregnant.  

BTW: My friend was very religious and always complained about people having sex before marriage!  Imagine our surprise when she announced she was pregnant to her boyfriend!  Due to religious reasons she  didn't believe in birth control and her, and her boyfriend who was in MED SCHOOL, assumed that having sex right before her period was "safe".  Needless to say, she got married about 2 months later.

Hey i was just curious....i normally start my period on the the last thursday of each month, or around the 23rd but always on a thursday towards the end of the month, and i am on my last day of it today 11-27-2007. I am on birth control and have been for about a year (the pill) and my boyfriend came in me tonight for the first time...i took my pill right after and douched...what are my chances of being pregnant??

by Heather5, Nov 27, 2007 11:23PM
To: CourCourt615
Well, if you're on the pill, chances are very low (I believe less than 1%). It shouldn't matter that you took the pill after you had sex, as long as you take it every day and about the same time. I don't think you have anything to worry about!

My period seemed to be really lite this month so me and my husband had sex for 3 nights in a role when i was on my period and got off in me every time even the last day of my period.my cycles are like every 35 days but my periods usually dont last but 4 days.is there a chance that i might be pregnant?

by Heather5, Dec 17, 2007 10:26AM
If your periods are only four days, and you have a 35 day cycle, I would say chances are very low. The luteal phase (from ovulation until your period is usually between 10 and 16 days (I think 17 at the very most), so for you, that means 35-17, which is cycle day 18. So the earliest you would ovulate, if you have your normal cycle, is 14 days after your period ends. And at the most, sperm can live five days, which takes us back to cycle day 9. So chances are very low that having intercourse on cycle day 1, 2, 3 or 4 would lead to pregnancy. UNLESS you for some reason ovulated much earlier this month.

However, you did say your period was much lighter than normal this month, and I'm not sure if you had unprotected sex last month. Some people do have light bleeding when they first get pregnant, although most don't. How much lighter was your period? Were you bleeding or just spotting?

My periods are only 3 days long. I get my cycle every 28 days. and my husband came inside me on the last day on my period. what are the chances of getting pregnant? Also this month I was very crampy the first day on my period.

My periods last for 6 days and are irregular. Last month I had sex with my boyfriend on the 6th day and he came inside of me. Is it possible that I could get pregnant? I have been feeling some cramping lately and im thinking that could be a sign that i am since i never feel cramping unless im having my period.

by Kim1989, Oct 15, 2008 07:20PM
you can still get pregnant

by uhoh18, Nov 09, 2008 11:03AM
Last I had my period was Oct 18-22, on the 22nd me and my bf had sex, and he came inside me. After that we have had sex.... using the withdrawal method every time.

Well, Oct 18th is a little late for me, since I usually start around the 13th and last til 17th. Now it is Nov 8th. I ovulate about 27 or so days.

Is there any chance, that I might be pregnant? Please help answer this question. :(

by Kim1989, Nov 09, 2008 06:05PM
you can get pregnant anytime a guy ejaculates inside of you. and you can get pregnant when i guy pulls out.

there is no such method called the withdrawl method that wont get you pregnant. its a way most girls get pregnant.

your chance of getting pregnant is HIGH because your having unprotected sex

by uhoh18, Nov 18, 2008 04:07PM
Okay well... it's two days past the day of my period and I took a test. Was it too early or?

by uhoh18, Nov 18, 2008 04:08PM
Oh! And it came out negative.

by JRA1979, Nov 18, 2008 04:20PM
Of course you can.  Some people ovulate twice in a month, some people skip a month of ovulation.  One way to know is that, approaching ovulation, your discharge becomes heavier, clearer, and will actually stretch between your fingers, and your cervix will feel high, soft and open (this is where you will find your fertile discharge).  Don't use this as birth control, because sperm can stay alive for up to 72 hours.  This discharge is noticable for about 12-24 hours before ovulation.

by lovelyedna, Nov 29, 2008 06:20PM

Hi, I had sex with my husband in the time of ovulation, i have cleaned it after finishing sex. But I guess some of the liquid went inside. Will i get pregnancy with that little amnt of sperm. anybody can suggest??

by Kim1989, Mar 26, 2009 01:20PM
yes you can be pregnant. theres no such thing as cleaning "it" after finishing sex. you can still get pregnant. theres something called precum and yes you can very much get pregnant being that you were ovulating...it takes one sperm to get pregnant!

by laur8610, Jul 10, 2009 11:55PM
my period is about every 28 days so if I start on the 4th one month I get it like the first or 30th the next time. I normally last about 6 days and on the last day its very lite. my boyfriend and I had sex it was protected but idk if we had a little accident what's the chance of me getting pregnant just in case. btw idk when I ovulate or anything

by Kim1989, Jul 11, 2009 08:18AM
you said you ahd protected sex...chance of you getting pregnant is very very very slim

by laur8610, Jul 11, 2009 09:31AM
but I think we may have had an accident with the condom . should I be at all worried or no ?

by Kim1989, Jul 11, 2009 01:15PM
had* i ment....you said that...but you didnt say what you think happened to the condom. did it come off. did it break...that would be a help. did the condom have spermicide in it?

by laur8610, Jul 11, 2009 11:34PM
I think there was a rip in it and no it was just lubricated I'm sorry I'm so annoying I'm just worried haha

by alimor, Aug 01, 2009 08:06AM
my period comes towards the 5th and 6th of each month. in june it came on the 6th and ended on the 10th. i had sex with my bf on the 12 and he ejaculated in me. Is it a very high possibility that i could be pregnant?

by Kim1989, Aug 01, 2009 08:10AM
no because your cycle is longer than 28 days..being that you get your period at the same time each month. people with a 28 day cycle get their periods all different times

by alimor, Aug 01, 2009 08:13AM
if ur not here u can respond to thia address. ***@****. really need ur help.

by alimor, Aug 01, 2009 07:51PM
so i dont have to worry about being pregnant then. Good cause i am expecting my next period towards the next wk

by alimor, Aug 01, 2009 07:56PM
isnt ur next cycle calculated at the end of ur period. mY period usually last for 5 days. when i calculate mine i always get 27 or 28 days. see it started the 6 ended the 10th. calculating from the 11th to the 6th when my next period should start would make it 27 days.

by Kim1989, Aug 01, 2009 07:57PM
no its from the first day of you last period to the first day your next period

by Kim1989, Aug 01, 2009 07:58PM
and no if you had a 28 day cycle..and started your period on the 1st.....you would get your next period at or around the 28th...thats not the same time every month. your cycles a little longer than a 28 day cycle

by alimor, Aug 02, 2009 06:45AM
Mine is 32 days. would that be ok or would i be considered to be irregular. i have another issue and i am not sure if u can help me understand whats wrong. I am 23 and i am unable to have a orgasm. My bf broke up with me because of that. I am thinking that maybe my harmones are too high.

what can i do about this. Will that affect me when i am ready to have a baby? How can i have a orgasm?

by Kim1989, Aug 02, 2009 09:26AM
that does not make you irregular. having a period all over the place would make you irregular.

you having an orgasm has no effect at all on you being able to conceive when your ready

its hard for a lot of women to have an orgasm during sex...dont worry your not the only one. i have no idea on advice on that matter...thats really messed up if your boyfriend broke up with you because you dont have an orgasm during sex.

by rockfan, Aug 14, 2009 11:42AM
i finished my peroiod yesterday and had unproteted sex with my bf last night, he cameinside of me,

I an on the pill but i just started and haven't been on it for a year, my pills are  now only four days off from matching my cycles which i don't know how long they are.... my boyfriend and i had sex on the last day of my period and the condom broke when he came.... Can i get pregnant? it has been a week since then and i am worried

by Kim1989, Aug 17, 2009 02:43PM
this whole post answers the question

Yes you can get pregnant however its not likely you would have been ovulating on your period

by 0928, Aug 17, 2009 06:30PM
should i still consider the possibility or just ignore it?

by elle123, Aug 17, 2009 07:20PM

my last period was oct 28th to 4th or 5th. so last wednesday my boyfriend and i had sex somehow he cames inside me, so can i get pregnant?

by pregnancy101, Nov 18, 2009 05:00PM
To: anyone who can help.
Okay, so i normally start my period at the last week of every month. They last about 5 days and on the 5th day, i had sex. It was protected with spermicidal condoms but the condom got stuck inside of me for about a second. I must have just had a lapse in my period that day cause the next day, i started with the "last day discharge". About how much of a chance is it that i can get pregnant?!
