Hey Everyone,
just wondering what my chances are of being preggers... my DH & I had unprotected sex while i was still on my period (TMI sorry)... and now for the past week or so i've been really nauseous (sp?)...stomache cramps, insomnia, no appetite, and when i do eat i feel sick immediately afterwards... my last period ended maybe a week or two ago. I'm really bad at keeping track...
TIA!

It's possible but rare to get pregnant while still on your period.

I'm sorry, not to be rude but I actually disagree with the whole not getting pregnant on your period..or not getting pregnant when you're not ovulating! First off, how old are you??? If you are in your 20's or younger

Ok, I'm sorry summer, but the fact is if she has a 21 day cycle then yes she would be ovulating at the end of her period and no she would not be able to get pregnant any other time of the month since the egg only lives at most 24 hours. Also keep in mind that sperm can live in the female reproductive tract for 3 to 5 days so if her cycle were slightly longer than 21 days I would say wait 7 more days and test.

Good luck and I hope it come out the way you want it to!
