In a word: YES.
But that doesn't mean that you will, or that it's very likely. If you already ovulated when you had sex, you'd be fertile, but if you hadn't, you won't be very fertile, but you have no way of knowing.
Just wait it out, set your boyfriend straight, and stay calm so that your period will come on schedule.

Little is absolutely right.In a word: YES.
But that doesn't mean that you will, or that it's very likely. If you already ovulated when you had sex, you'd be fertile, but if you hadn't, you won't be very fertile, but you have no way of knowing.

Can I ovulate during my period?
For women who have regular cycles, ovulating during your period is highly unlikely. Some women have very irregular cycles, maybe coming once every 3 months or 2-3 times in one month, and these women can have the odd occurrence of ovulating during a period or what is believed to be a period. Still, the chance of ovulating during a period is unlikely. But because sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days, pregnancy could occur from intercourse that takes place during a period.
Can I ovulate right after my period?
The answer to this is determined by how many days are in your cycle. For example, if you have a 21 day cycle ( from the beginning of one period to the beginning of another) and you bleed for 7 days, then yes, you could ovulate right after your period. This is because we know ovulation can occur 12-16 days before your next period begins, and this would put you ovulating at days 6-10 of your cycle.
Can I get pregnant during my period?
Pregnancy can occur from intercourse that takes place during a period. This is because sperm can live in the body for up to five days, and if a woman ovulates soon after her period, then conception could take place from intercourse that occurred during her period.
During my ovulation time, how many days am I really fertile?
During the time of ovulation, an egg is available to be fertilized for only about 12-24 hours. But since sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days and then the egg is available for one day, your most fertile time is considered to be about 5-7 days.There is a method to my madness ........ I just haven't found it yet.Comment
