Can you get pregnant if you had unprotected sex a week and a half before your period starts

I know ovaluation is like 14 days after your period.  My period is like due on the September 1st or even perhaps the 29th of August, but the thing was I had unprotected sex with my ex bf a week and a half before my period which was on the 20th August.  Could I be pregnant? Just two days ago I started to itch slightly.   Now I was pregnant before, it happened exactly on my day of ovulating cause I had implantation bleeding that same night which i thought was suppose to be after loosing my virginity.  But I had an abortion during my sixth week, I'm still angry at my bf for making me do it but I'm starting to heal. During that pregnancy even before I found out I was pregnant I itched like crazy could not stop, even after I had the abortion I still itched for the month.  But really, could I get pregnant, cause I mean if the egg is released on day 14 and it requires a sperm to reach it within 24 hrs then I couldn't possibly be pregnant cause my 14 day was like the 13 August and I had no implantation bleeding.  Can I still be pregnant?

Yes that is true, because i ovulate on CD 15 or 16. I was assuming that is where she might of heard that info from, most planned parent hoods tell you that, not even asking you how long is your cycle.(i wasnt trying to knock what you were saying)

Far as the rules: That is what our father told all the girls he had. And my brothers, there rules were use a condom and have fun ;! WTH is what i thought to myself, like daddy is so sexest lol.

soooooo, anyways, we were there the other night again.....

but yes, although YOU can only get pregnant 24 hours out of the month, sperm can "wait" for an eggup to 7 days, in the best vaginal conditions.....

as for your abortion, i'm ASSUMING you are over the age of 18(since most states require that), i'm sorry you did something that you now regret.....IMO, for the record, i hope the same man who "made" you get that abortion, is not the man you might be pregnant by now...or the cycle may repeat itself.....if you are not planning on children, you need some type of birth control...not all women have implantation bleeding, i know i didnt...not all women have symptoms either, again, i didnt...another way to track your cycles and ovulating is mymonthlycycles . com
that wesite has you put in your period(or last period), and gives you a "forecast" of future periods and ovulation dates, based on the length of your cycle(that you put in)...it even allows you to put in symptoms(for pms/ovulation etc), each day wether menstruating or not, and also allows you to print out your charts, to show a dr, or to keep on  hand for yourself!

I never wanted to get pregnant in the first place.  Where I come from no one teaches about sex.  All they tell you is not to have sex and you are not allowed to talk about it.  He was more experience than me.  I had none.  He was the first person.  He didn't even go inside me when I got pregnant, just came on me.  Imagine how I felt.  I know it was wrong to have him touch me in the first place and even more wrong to kill my own child, but I have more guilt that I could bear to think about the fact that I put my life above that of my child.  He wasn't even there for me and I gave him my innocence, my virginity...I was still with him, but not anymore cause I know realise that he was just using me to get what he wanted.  A part of me wanted my child back that's why I didn't take the BC when the doctor offered and yes I had sex with him.  I wanted to be pregnant, but lately the way he is treating me I don't want to be anymore.  I really do hate him and now I just have to hope that I am not pregnant.  My period was the 1st of August (Friday) or this friday it should come...right?

I calulated my ovulation date based on mymonthlycycle.com and it was the 15 August and I had sex on the 20th so i cannot be pregnant cause it said that my most fertile time was 4 days before the 15th, which included the 15th and one day after.  So I cannot be pregnant...thank God.

WOW You are something else! You dont deserve a child!!!! I have been trying with my husband to have a baby and have had 2 miscarriages in the past 4 months!! I dont understand where you come from that people tell you nothing about sex and to just not talk about it!!!! You need help!!!! I hope for the sake of the child that you are not pregnant!!! It seems like it is a game for you!!! oh i want a baby and then oh now i dont bc he is not treating me right!! second of all NO man can tell you what to do with your body!!! If you truly wanted to have that baby you would have left that "boyfriend" the fact that you slept with him again just to get pregnant again is so wrong of you!!!! You said you found out that he used you for what he wanted well if you are pregnant (I pray that you are not) you are no better than him because you used him for what you "thought" you wanted!!!  You have no Idea how many women including myself that cant wait to get a positive pregnancy and then pray that everything goes well!!! You make me soo sad!!
