Q: Pregnant Week After Period?

I'm just wondering how many of you got pregnant the week after your period? I know that ovulation usually occurs 14 days before your next period but it could be different for some people, right? I'm wondering what the odds are I guess of concieving the week after your period ends and how long can the sperm actually stay in your body? Annyy answers to any of these question would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I dont know how, but I got pregnant the day after I ended my period. ? Sometimes things just dont make sense, they happen for a reason. I wish I had the answer for you but I dont. Sorry. Good luck though. Wink

It depends on the length of your cycle. Sperm lives up to five days in there. There is definitely only a small window in which fertilization happens, it just happens to vary from one body to the next.

It is very possible to have sex a week after your period and for a few sperm to still be hanging round when an egg is released (even on a text book cycle)
so technically you won't have gotten pregnant that week but yeah...
When you factor in different ovulation days as well it becomes even more possible
plus to make dating pregnancies easier by the time you concieve (in a text book cycle) you are classed as 2weeks pregnant!
