    Chances of pregnancy from sex during period?

    My bf and I had sex today on the second day of my period. He told me he 'came inside' a little bit. The thing is, i would've gotten the morning-after pill if only it were available in my country, and my regular pill that the doctor prescribed (Nordette) was recently phased out. Is there a high chance of me getting pregnant on the second day of a 4-5 day period? I usually ovulate around 6 days after my period.

    I would say that it is unlikely, but some questions need to be answered first. Have you had irregular periods? How do you know when you ovulate? In ideal conditions, sperm will live for 5 days in a woman's uterus so the question is if you could possibly ovulate on the sixth or seventh day from the start of your period.

      My periods are very regular, I haven't missed any in the past few months/year. I also monitor my periods monthly with a fertility application, i think it estimates when I'm supposed to ovulate or something. The app tells me I'll be fertile 7-8 days after today and will be ovulating 11 days from now. Is this reliable?

        It may be reliable in most cases, but unusual cases are not extremely rare. Claret , atskitty2 , Ashlee T. comments?

          Anytime you have sex, even with preventive measures, it's possible to get pregnant.
          In this scenario, it's not likely that you would get pregnant, but it isn't impossible either.

          If pregnancy is not what you want right now, I suggest using condoms every time, start to finish. Or using another form of birth control, or combining methods.
          Do some additional studying about your reproductive health and you can learn a lot about what is happening with your body, and when. You may know a lot already, but it's fun to read about and there's always more to know.

          Additionally, I'd like to say a word about being strong and firm with what you allow anyone to do with YOUR body. If you are interested in having sex, but not without condoms, you have the strength to be firm with that rule, and make him stick to the rule. This is your body, and what you want should be respected. Guys can be convincing and even manipulative, and you need to protect yourself. If you say not without condoms, make him wear one, start to end.
          Good luck Hon.

            The likely-hood of pregnancy is small however, there always is the chance of double ovulation, or ovulation more than once in a month. Actual conception takes place in the falopian tubes, then the zygot travels down the tubes into the uterus for implantation. When you are on your period the muscles of the uterus are working to expel the menstrual blood which is against the direction the sperm needs to travel for conception.

            However slight the probability, you need to take charge o your own body. Don't assume because you didn't get pregnant this time that it wouldn't happen next time.
            That which we forget may as well never really happened.

              There might be a chance. I can't just declare it here. It's really bad if I say so. The reason is that it's not so bad. So what he came inside a little bit. It's you two doing things that you loved. Don't worry. As you are saying you usually ovulate 2nd day. So if you were and you are on your pill as well. Than there might be chance of getting pregnant. On that basis I am saying. Why are you worried. Are you not ready. Don't you want to become a mother. Every women wants to become a mother. don't worry everything will be fine. If you don't want it than you can do abortion. Just let it be how it is. Take care allot dear. Best of luck.

                phoebe412, not every woman wants to get pregnant. Not every woman should get pregnant. Not every pregnancy that isn't wanted should be aborted. I think your statements to be ill advised to this young woman. Please consider the real message you are giving her.

                  Pheobe412, I don't want to be pregnant.
                  I wouldn't have an abortion either.

                    I know so many people who have had unplanned pregnancies
                    some because they thought they were too old to get pregnant anymore "over 40 pregnancies"
                    others who didn't use birth control that ONE time and thought I won't get pregnant
