pregnant 7-8 days before period ?
Posted: 03-25-08 13:59pm

i was wondering if you could get pregnant 7 -8 days before your period is due ?
& if you did would you still get your period when its due , even though you had sex 7-8 days ago ?
or would it not come , because you did get pregnant ?

It depends on when you ovulate. Women who are regular ovulate about 2 weeks before the start of their cycle. If you have a shorter cycle, then of course this number goes down. If you are irregular, you could be ovulating at different times, so you would need to chart your cycle out, or get an ovulation predictor kit.

A period means that you are not pregnant the majority of the time. If you miss a period, you can take a test to see if the reason why you are missing your period is pregnancy. You can have a late, early, or missed period because of stress, so a missed period is not always a sign of pregnancy either.

It is possible, but 7-8 days is a pretty short luteal phase which is the time between when you ovulate and when you start your period. That is almost not enough time for the egg to fertilize and implant. Usually that whole process takes at least 10 days. That is for most people.

But with most things, anything is possible.
