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.

Based on a 28 day cycle yes maybe,but women have different luteal phases which is why they say you ovulate 14 days before your period.problems with text books and doctors they assume all women have 28 day cycles which we know not to be try..


I like your rules:)

It never amazes me and some questions. And it tickes me as some responses lol.

Rule number one: Anytime you have unprotected sex, you are at risk for getting pregnant, contracting a disease that is cureable or not cureable or having both happen.

Rule number two: As a woman or young lady, before you start making grown up decisions, it would be WISE to learn the female body, and it would not hurt to learn a little about the mans body. Knowing yourself will also give you more pleasure to sex, and might even make you wait until the right one comes along, because laying down with any old joe is not worth it. And not knowing what feels good to you is not worth going threw the motions and not getting nothing from it.

Rule number three: You lay down with flees you get up with flees(meaning you dont no no better)

Rule number four: Pray for guideance in anything you do, and forgiveness

Rule number five: You should learn from your mistakes, we should get wiser not dumber.

With this said, i hope you go and research and get to learn your body.

Actually Tarjanes, the text book says you ovulate 14 days after your menstrual cycle, for some reason, thats a rule of thumb even clinics use, BUT, its suppose to be for women who have a 28 day cycle, which would make a woman ovulate on CD14. So i understand why she would say that, which that would also make a woman ovulate about 14 days prior to the start of her next cycle.

So to answer your question, yes, there is a chance you could be preggo, and if it was unprotected, your chances are higher.  I will keep you in my prayers.

You ovulate 14 days before your next period not 14 days after your period.so firstly you need to understand ovulation before you start questioning if you are pregnant.you could or could not be pregnant best to see if your period is late.itching isnt pregnancy related.but i agree with mumita,if you dont want a child or unsure then use protection.to many girls on here want to get pregnant for a fashion acessory,not all women get implantation bleeding.i would wait to see if your period turns up.
