Post still pregnant after period?

How likely is it that a woman will have unprotected sex, get her period, and still be pregnant after it's over??

I had unprotected sex. My period started the next day and was really heavy and lasted quite a long time. I thought I was okay. But now I hear you can still get pregnant. Could I be pregnant?

I'm also worried because this was almost a month ago. If I am pregnant, is it too late to terminate the pregnancy?

I know there are going to be people telling me over and over again to use a condom every time. I knew the consequences of not using one, and I made the decision not to use one. I'll deal with it if I am pregnant. Please don't get on my case about it. That won't help me.

Thanks for any help.

I don't know how likely it is, but the period-like bleeding does happen. Are your periods usually like clockwork? You should be able to take a test. As far as abortion, it is not to late. And although I have a very strong oppinion on abortions, it is your choice and I won't lecture. Take a test and let us know the outcome.

The chances that your cycle is so off whack that you would ovulate and then have your period the next day is so slim that I wouldn't worry about it. Ovulation usually occurs 14 days before your period, not the day before. Granted, it's possible, but mighty unlikely. If your periods are very regular, and this one is late (over 28 days - or whatever your cycle is - since the first day of your last one), then you should go have a pregnancy test after waiting a week or two. As for how far along you can be in a pregnancy and still have an abortion, I'm not sure if this goes for everywhere, but here, you can be up to 18 weeks to have it done in a clinic, and 24 in a hospital. That's very far along, if you're going to do it, the sooner the better. And IMO, since it's such a touchy subject, don't let us know the outcome.
Also, no lecture on the condom, but don't forget that while it's too late for this time, there is always the option of the morning after pill. (Good for up to 72 hrs after unprotected sex.)

You can take a pregnancy test now and it should be accurate since the sex happened almost a month ago.
A bit of info about ovulating and when you might. It actually is more along the lines of 12 to 16 days before your next period but that isnt set in stone.There are some women that ovulate ealier or later than that.
I hate using the above to figure because it has a person counting backwards and can cause some problems in truly figuring when a person did ovulate.
But again the only way you can know if you are pregnant or not is to take a test.

Thank you for your replies everyone. I actually ran out to get a pregnancy test as soon as I posted. I'm glad to say it was negative. Whew. That did really get me thinking though.

Thanks for all the info on ovulating, etc. I really appreciate it.

Thanks again!
