My Lmp was Sept 15th me and my husband has sex on the 21st my cycle is 26-28 days long mainly 26 days, and I was wondering is it possible that I could have got pregnant? I don't feel the signs of when I got pregnant with my daughter. I feel very thirsty have been getting headaches I feel tired to and things seem to bug me easier. Also I am due on the 10th-12th could I test on the 10th seeing as my that would be 26 days? thanks for any feed back. Kerri

It's possible, but unlikely... You had sex on cycle day 6, and your cycle's usually 26 days, you're probably ovulating somewhere after cycle day 10, most likely around cycle day 12 or so. Sperm can survive up to 72 hours in optimum conditions (like laboratory conditions) but usually only last 48-- so unless you're having a much shorter cycle, you're probably in the clear. You can definately test on the 10th if you're usually 26 days, just use a sensitive test like first response early result, or cvs brand.

Hope this helps :)

Hi I am in the same boat as you! The 1st day of my LMP was Sept 13th, we had sex off & on, dont know if I hit my fertile days or not.But I should start my next AF Oct 10th, unless im PG, I have been tired, emotional, had a headache 4 days in a row last week, and ive been feeling some cramping for over a week now... I have to wait for either my period, or wait to test... I hate waiting!!! Good luck!!!

Thanks guys were not tring to get pregnant if it happens we will be happy, but we have a 20 month old and were planning on waiting untill she turned two before we thought about it. My husband can't wait untill we have a boy! Even when we did our x-mas shopping he went to the little boy toys and said in a few years I can shop over here. Even though my daughter is daddys little girl he really wants his boy. Thanks Kerri
