Its not the first time that I've had intercourse during my period and nothing has happened.
I am a bit concerned that this is by far the most longest cycle I've had, my longest was 36 once.
I don't mind having a long cycle. More free days for me :-P
But it does concern me of the fact that I am not wanting to expect and always trusted the first 5 menstrual days as safe days.
My breasts are swollen by now but they don't hurt. I do believe that If I was really pregnant it would have shown.
Still, thank you for replying :)
1. It is possible to get pregnant without ejaculating inside you because seamen can leak out befor orgasm. It is very unlikely though.
2. It is extremely unlikely to ovulate on Day 4 practically while you are having your period.
3. Home pregnancy tests give you an accurate reading if you are pregnant the day you miss your period if you have regular cycles.
4. the probability that you are pregnant is extremely low, i put it to less than 0.0001%.
5. Probably you are experiencing some hormonal changes which can explain your symptoms.
