Can I Be Pregnant?

[MarisaCooke]

Hello.

Okay so on the 17th of March me and my bf had protected sex with a condom. As far as I know the condom did not leak or break in any way and he didn't ejaculate in the condom. We did have bare genital contact BEFORE we had sex though, but no sperm came into contact with me. (As far as I know)

I was experiencing Ovulation like symptoms on the 25th of March that lasted until the 27th.

And then 1 week later, on the 1st of April, 1 week before my period is due, I had menstrual like cramping in my abdominal area. I got my first (very first) Depo Provera shot on April 2nd. The cramping was still there until today, the 4th of April.

I have read that implantation occurs 7 days after you ovulate, and lasts for 1 - 3 days. But here is my question.

If my partners sperm had gotten in me, it would be 8 days between the time that the sperm had gotten in there when I had Ovulated. Could the sperm actually survive that long to conceive a fertile egg? Please answer I really need help thank you.

So, when we actually ovulate is always a best guess.  And as you know though, sperm lives for up to a week.  However, you have to have a penis in your vagina to get pregnant.  You didn't have that except with condom so unless the condom broke or wasn't used correctly, I would not worry about pregnancy.  All other calculations are too complicated to ponder.  Really.  All you need to know is that you can get a positive pregnancy test 2.5 weeks after your last episode that you are worried about and if you haven't gotten your period and suspect pregnancy, take a test.  But women are late for their periods all the time for a variety of reasons.  These include stress, changes in routine, losing or gaining weight, illness or just a hormonal blip on the radar.  good luck
