Is it possible to get pregnant 4 days before period is due?

Q. Had sex on Thursday, period was due on Sunday, and it still hasn't come... I know it's only been 3 days since but I'm still a bit worried. I'm 17 so my period is not always regular but recently it has been.. We used a condom and there was no leakage/ it didn't break so I don't see why I would be? Could my period not coming be due to a placebo effect as I'm very paranoid about getting pregnant..


Answer
Hi there,

Your period is only 2 days late. Don't worry.

No. You cannot get pregnant 4 days before your period is due. At that time in your cycle you have already ovulated and the egg has died. The only risk is that you are WRONG about when your period is due, and your period is in fact not due for another 14 days or so from the date you had sex on. That is very unlikely, unless you have the odd very irregular cycle.


Don't worry. You had protected sex at a very infertile time of the month. Your period isn't even technically late yet. Wait another 5 days, and if you've had no period, THEN you can start to worry.

If you had sex earlier in the month, pregnancy is more possible. But unless there was a mishap with a condom, or no condom was used, pregnancy is still very unlikely.

Worrying about your period coming does not make your period later. That's a myth. Stress postpones ovulation, not a period. It's possible to delay your ovulation, which will in turn delay your period, but this will only happen if the stress occurs before ovulation. You have almost certainly already ovulated this cycle.

So. Don't worry for another 5 days, and at that time, if there's no period, you can get a pregnancy test and take it. Then take another in a few days if there's still no period and the test was negative. Take immediate action towards abortion or prenatal care if you discover a pregnancy, but there's no need to worry unless your period is much later than this.

Worrying is normal. Everyone does it.

Best of luck.

Did i get pregnant before or after my period?




Love One A


My last period was oct 22
My due date is july 29
And after i got my period at the end of september i stopped taking my birth control pills of 2yrs
So what i really wanna know is did i get pregnant b4 or after my period in oct



Answer
you cannot get pregnant then have a period!

a period occurs when the unfertilised egg and uterus lining are shed to make way for the new one.
it is possible to have spotting around the time your period would have been due. this is lighter than a period and is usually only for a day or 2.

you would have had your oct period and then concieved during your ovulation about 2 weeks after the first day of the period. or if it was implantation bleeding that you had (small amount of spotting) you would have concieved 2 weeks before.

so to answer your question, you got pregnant after your period. you cannot have periods when you are pregnant, only small bleeds.

you really dont know this stuff?! its textbook!
