1. How long is your cycle typically? For a normal woman, a cycle is 28 days. She ovulates approximately 14 days before the beginning of her period. Sperm can live in the body for up to 5 days, and sometimes in rare cases even 7 days. This means that the beginning of a woman's fertile period can typically be as early as 7 days after her period begins. If your period is 5 or 6 days and you had sex a few days after it stopped, it is definitely possible to become pregnant.

That being said, every woman's body is different and you never know how each cycle could be. It is even possible to get pregnant on your period, although rare.

2. Most women don't begin to experience symptoms until they have enough hormones to produce a positive result on a home pregnancy test, about 14 days after having sex. Some women don't experience any symptoms at all, however. You may experience symptoms like fatigue or sore breasts slightly earlier than your missed period, but symptoms usually aren't noticeable until after.

Hey! I really don't know how long my cycle is...but like I said, my period is like clockwork, every month on the 16th...a few times it has came on the 18th lol! I am not on any type of birthcontrol but my husband an I normally use condoms. But, about 4 days after my period stopped we had unprotected sex and he pulled out. The only reason I am concerned is because I normally have very clear skin...the only time it breaks out is when I'm pregnant (we have two children already) or while I'm on my period but even then it's only a pimple or two. It is broken out horribly right now and a new pimple seems to pop up everyday! Also, I have lots of clear thick (non smelling) discharge...more so when I pee...which is very odd for me. I have also been experiencing slight nasue is the mornings right after I work out... which is also odd. This is why I asked about experience pregnancy symptoms early on. I know that I just should forget about it until my period is due...but I just can't seem to shake the thought! Well, thanks alot for your advice and info...I look forward to hearing from you agian soon:o)

Your cycle is irregular if you have your period on the 16th of every month. Every month has different days in it, so a cycle starting on the same day every month (or two days later) would be considered slightly irregular.

Women ovulate approximately 2 weeks before their period starts. If your period is due on the 16th, then you'd have been ovulating on or around the 2nd of this month, making symptoms felt right now most likely not related to pregnancy.

Good luck!
