periods and sex
 

So I had sex a couple of times with my boyfriend last week (anywhere from the 2nd to the 6th) and then I started my period on the 10th and have had it for 5 days. I was just wondering if there is a possibility that I could be pregnant? I know it's too early to tell, I was just wondering seeing as how I still had my period

The chance is nearly zero since you had a normal period after.

You could be pregnant. If you're having sex, you should be using protection, whether you've got your period or not. If you're mature enough for sex, you're mature enough for contraception. Some people can get periods when they are pregnant.

If you're worried it would be a good idea to get yourself a pregnancy test, or pop along to see your doctor to ask them. It might also be a good idea to speak to them about condoms or something.

Hope that helps.

When someone have a normal period after having unprotected sex, the chances are very very close to zero that they are pregnant. Pregnancy after a normal period is rare enough that it should only be suspected if there are other symptoms going on.

It is also possible the OP was trying to get pregnant.

Also, contrary to popular to belief it is absolutely impossible to get your period whilst pregnant.
You can have pregnancy bleeding that mimics a period but you aren't shedding the mining of the uterus, as this would force miscarriage, so it is not a period.
Sorry, it just irks me when people say you can get a period whilst pregnant. Unless you have two wombs, it's impossible.

Ok, point taken, but what I meant was that some women still BLEED whilst pregnant, which can EXACTLY mimic a period so really, periods are a very unreliable witness.

Again, if you're worried, get a pregnancy test and think about contraception in future so avoid such worries.

My boyfriend and I have used condoms before. We just don't like them though. And I can't go on the pill because I have no job which means no money. Also, I'm really bad at taking pills. I avoid it.

There are other options: injections, coil etc.

I do (to some extent) understand where you're coming from with the condoms, but unless you want to get pregnant, you have to do something... kinda how the world works.

if you dont have the money for contraception, then you dont have the money for a baby.

i know what you are saying, i hate sex with condoms.

however there are many forms of contraception. stop being stupid. if you continue having unprotected sex, chances are you WILL get pregnant sometime.
