Yes, yes and yes.. Most definitely.. It's definitely a myth that you can't get pregnant while on your period.. Ask the girls who believed that and are now mommies because of it..So don't ever think that you can't get pregnant while on your period.. Cuz you will most likely be greatly disappointed by the outcome.

Thank you...

I don't think I asked one of my questions properly...

If I have sex the day before i'm supposed to get my period, will I get that period? Because i've heard that sometimes it takes the sperm like 3 days to get there. So what happens then?

Yep, you will.. You can conceive up to a week before you get your period and still get it..

Okay thank you!

I did this (have sec right before my period), but I was asking because my friend doesn't believe me that you can get pregnant during your period. When I did, I used a condom though.

I was supposed to get my period on the 31st or 1st, and I had sex last night (1st; with a condom), and I still haven't gotten my period.

If a condom doesn't break, how effective if it? I checked the condom after he took it off, and it wasn't leaking, it didn't break, etc. But I am still worried because i've had a pregnancy scare before. This was our first time since then, and since this happened, i've been trying not to let it happen to other people so i'm like a raging fool asking these questions.

Thanks again.

Condoms are as effective as birth control.. About 98%.. If you're really stressing thinking that you might be pregnant, you might not get your period!! Stress does that to you, and that only makes things worse.. If you don't get it within a week or so... Take a test!!! Good luck

I heard someone say something about condoms being more effective than birth control pills/patch/shot if they don't break.

I'm not really stressing, I don't think...I don't know. I don't really worry about a lot of stuff, i'm kinda laid back. It's weird that I didn't get it on the 31st though, i've been maeking my periods and they're been around the same time. It's weird cause I didn't have sex since my last period. Also, when do I have to get my period to be sure i'm not pregnant this time. Like a week after or so?

Thanks.

Ya, I would say a week or so.. And condoms are more effective than bc in the fact that they help prevent std's and bc doesn't.. Ideally you should be using both.

Oh, and the fact that this was the first time you've had sex since your last period.. Im about 99% sure that you will get it.. Even if you are pregnant. (which in this case sounds unlikely if you say the condom didn't break). Just be patient!

Well, then I hope I get it a week from yesterday! I know we should be using both, but we don't have sex a lot, and it's not worth...Well, I guess it is worth it but I am a minor and I can't get on b/c without my parents knowing which I don't want them to. Also, we both don't have stds, some i'm fine in that department.


Thank you so much for everything...It's nice to know that someone cares enough to help.

One more thing...

What's the worst time for having sex when trying to concieve? Like, what are the most infertile days, more or less? I'm not depending on this completely, but i'd just like to know. To put my mind at ease for one time or another.

Thanks again.

Hi,
here's a useful website which charts the *average* woman's cycle - however yours may not be exactly the same amount of days - you may ovulate early or late - so don't rely solely on this. Even ppl who use natural family planning as a method of birth control do not rely on scientific charts but rather on the changes in the woman's body ie. Temprature changes and cervical mucous discharge. But for a general idea check this site.
