Can you get pregnant 1 or 2 days after your period?

Why is it when you get pregnant the doctor counts the week of your period as part of how many weeks you are (pregnant)?

If you have had sex 7 days later with someone else and get pregnant can't you still tell who the father is (according to how many weeks you are)

how long does it take after you have sex to get pregnant?

Well did you wear a condom? Hopefully you did if you sex with another guy 7 days later. But no you cannot get pregnant 2 days after, it can happen though. It depends if they came in you? It can be right after sex that you get pregnant. But it depends if you are ovulating which is usually 15 days after your period but some women ovulate at different times. You should really be more careful. And if you think you are, with until your next period is late, then take a test.

Well with the 2nd guy yes he did wear a condom, but before he put it on the tip of his penis was barely touching my vagina (but no he did not cum in me). And yes I am pregnant. Last week they said I was 5 in a half weeks pregnant. So that means this week i'm about six weeks. But the weeks still don't add up to when me and the second guy was together. The first guy which is my boyfriend had unprotected sex and he ejeculated in me.

Can I ask a few questions?

What was the first day of your last period?
What days after your period did you have sex?
The man you used a condom with, was he inside of you at all without a condom? (not just touching you)

it is possible, for some women, to get pregnant right after their period. Every womans cycle is different. Normally, ovulation occurs about 14 days after the first day of your last period.

The doctor will always based how far along you are by the first day of your last period. He might change your due date if he does an ultrasound, though. The ultrasound can be quite accurate as to how far along you are.

The first day of my last period was sept. 2, 2003 and the last day of my period was sept.6, 2003.

I had sex with my boyfriend on the following dates: sept. 7 and sept. 8.

I had sex with the other boy with a condom on sept. 14 (remind you that the tip of his penis was barley touching my vagina). And no he was not inside of me without a condom.

I had sex again with my boyfriend on sept. 19, sept. 24 sept. 29 and sept. 30.

I take it that when you were with you boyfriend on sept 14th and 19th that you were unprotected? If so, it is most likely that you got pregnant on one of those days. It's highly unlikely that the man you were with that wore the condom is the father of your baby. Especially if there was no problems with the condom. Example: if it broke.
Does this help you at all? You probably ovulated around sept 16. Give or take a couple of days. Fyi...Sperm can stay alive inside you for a couple of days. So if you were with your boyfriend on the 14th, it's very likely that you could've gotten pregnant a couple days later.
I hope this helps you a little.

No on sept. The 14 I was not with my boyfriend I was with the other guy and we used a condom.

Now on sept. 19 I was with my boyfriend and we did not use a condom on that day nor on sept. 7,8, 19,24,29 and 30th. Now every time I calculate when I ovulated it always tells me two things. I ovulated on the 16th, or between the 18- 20th.

I'm confussed cause if I ovulated around the 16th of sept. Then that probably means it's the guy I was with when I used the condom. But if I ovulated around sept. 18-20 then it may be my boyfriend's.

Sorry about the confusion. I misread your message.

If I had to guess, I would say that the baby is most likely by your boyfriend. Especially since he's the only one you were with unprotected.

The only way you are ever going to know 100% is if you get a dna test done after the baby is born.

I'm going to assume that your boyfriend doesn't know that you were with the other guy? Does he know that you're pregnant?

I sympathize with your situation and wish I could do something to help.

Again, i'm sorry about confusing you.

No my boyfriend does not know about the other guy. But I think i'm going to get an amniocentesis done when I go to the doctor. But thank you so much for your help I really do appreciate it. Yeah but my boyfriend knows that I am pregnant and his very excited.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to get an amnio?

I just want to warn you of the risks they can cause to a pregnancy. There is a 5% chance that you could miscarry and lose the baby. I'm sure the doctor will tell you the same thing.

I want to get it done because with that I would know who the father is cause what the doctors do is take a needle stick into your belly button into the umbilical cord draw the blood from the baby, they can also get fetal cells from the baby also. I'm not about to have a baby that is not my boyfriends, I don't want to walk around with 2 different baby daddy's

An amnio cannot determine who the father of the baby is. When they do an amnio, they are withdrawling amniotic fluid from around the baby. The needle does not puncture the umbilical cord. It punctures the sac, but not the baby. The purpose of an amnio is to screen for different genetic abnormalities the baby may have, such as downs syndrome. The only way I have ever known to determine who's the biological father is to have a dna test done after the baby is born.

If you want more information on amniocentisis, there is plenty online.

I looked at the website under prenatal testing and don't see exactly what you're talking about. Did you look then under amniocentesis? All of the tests I looked under said they are looking for genetic disorders.

I called them also and it does cost a pretty penny. Anywhere from 1000.00 to 2000.00

Well you should have used protection with the other guy and plus there are alot of women out there with two diff babys by two diff fathers don't get rid of the baby just because your selfish. Thats so wrong its just a baby like it really knows whats going on. Thats just plan messed up!! Sorry for being somean because I don't even know you or anything but let me tell u something there are so many women that want to get pregnant out there and they will just call you selfish.Sorry but that hurts all of us women that want to be pregnant its a beautiful thing!!!!! Mad

I have a baby who is three and am 37 weeks pregnant and the babies have two different fatheres. I love my first one with all my heart and wouldnt change having her for anything in the world. Regardless of who the father is thats still your baby. Kinda sick of hearing about woman who use abortion as a form of birth control

Just a Question
Posted: 10-16-03 20:10pm

From what I am reading 4mebyme..It seems like you want the other guy to be the father. How would you baby have two fathers if your boyfriend was the one who took care of him/her for life?! It isnt hard to be a father...Its hard to be a daddy to a child. How old are you again? I dont know if you posted it..But I dont think I saw it. Why are you trying to find ways to make the 2nd guy the father?! I just dont get it. Youhave a boyfriend who will be there for the baby if it is his.(which I strongly believe it to be),so why are you trying to mess it up. If you dont want this child to be confused...Stop sleeping around on your boyfriend. I dont know what goes on between you and your boyfriend.(i.E. He beats you, or yall fight a lot) but if thats the case then break up with him. Think about it this way...If you were in love with someone, would you want them to cheat on you, possibly get another woman preggy, and not tell you about it until the baby was born and be told by the mother of the child?! I dont know about you but I know a lot of people would say no. Im not trtying to criticize you at all...Beleieve me...Im not that type of person..I just want you to think. And please dont do any testing to the baby unil the child is born!! I wouldnt take any risks!!

Sarah!

Amnio's are not 100% safe. So it's not wise to do this just to find out paternity. There are definately risks. You should really think about this before you do it. It is none of my business and I am not judging you, but it is somewhat unsafe. It's more probable than not that your boyfriend is the father, so why don't you just wait until after the baby's born?

To find out paternity during pregnancy would still require your boyfriend to be tested. So you'd have to tell him anyway. You might as well just wait.
