Is It Possible That My Girlfriend Can Be Pregnant? Posted: 03-13-05 12:01pm
The morning after me and my girlfriend had
sex she started her period. She then
continually had her period for the next
couple of days. We want to take a
pregnancy test and it has been almost
three weeks and we don't know if we should
wait longer to make sure we get the
correct results. Normally, I know a
couple would wait to see if she gets her
next period after the one she had, but she
is irregular and has it only about every
three months. Is it still possible for
her to become pregnant and when can we
take a pregnancy test that will have the
absolute results?

Yes, it's poosible to get pregnant even
though she has irregular periods, so I
suggest you use condoms if you don't want
parental responsibilities.
If she got her period the day after you
had sex there is virtually no chance of
being pregnant.
Pregnancy occurs when en egg is fertilised
by a sperm.
When an egg is released itis called
ovulation. Typically ovulation occurs
approximately 14 days *before* the period
begins.
The egg is only viable for around 36 hours
after ovulation.
So to get her period the next day,
ovulation is likely to have been around 14
days ago in which case the egg was long
gone!
