You can only get pregnant during ovulation. But all women ovulate at different times. But it's usually about two weeks before starting your period. So on average the chances of you getting pregnant just after your period are pretty slim. But you may ovulate on a different cycle than the average woman.
In response to Leslie:
It is NOT true that you can get pregnant only when you are ovulating. It is true however that many women differ in cycles. Most women with a 28 day cycle will ovulate on days 12-17, depending on their body. The first day of your last period being the Day 1. You ovulate for 2 days. BUT there is a 6 day time span before that you are still very fertile. Not AS fertile, but still very much. and 2 days after you ovulate there is still a slim chance of fertilization. So over all you are not ok to have unprotected sex from days 6-19. That is if you have a 28 day cycle. Your best bet is to calender your specific cycle. Otherwise it is not safe. And its true that sperm can live in you for 3-5 days.
basically, yes, it is possible. although not likely, it can happen because it is possible to have an early ovulation.
You sure can! I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and I got pregnant very shortly after my period. My period started on December 27th and I stopped bleeding around the 30th. I had one act of unprotected sex with my husband on New Years Eve (about two days after I had stopped bleeding) and BAM I'm pregnant! Needless to say it was a surprise, but a good surprise. I guess I have an irregular cycle with early ovulation - I never knew!
Absolutely you can!!! You can ovulate early. Some do. And lets not forget that sperm can live in you for about 3 days. I have even read on the net for 3-5 days. So you may ovulate a bit away from your period but if there is still live sperm in you it could meet that egg and boom, a baby!
Yes. Having done some internet research I actually found out that there are rare occassions when sperm lives up to 7 days after ejaculation in the woman (based on unusual pregnancies). Every woman is different and there is always the chance of sexual activity causing irregularities if you are very young or you don't have sex often. That's how it was for me. The cramping could also be from a cyst, so an ultrasound could tell most likely.
A negative test could also be the result of a phantom pregnancy. A phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking it is pregnant. You will still experience pregnancy symptoms but you are not actually pregnant; it is al psychological Some women have even been able to lactate during a phantom pregnacny. The causes of a phantom pregnancy are either paranoia of being pregnant or having an extreme desire to become pregnant. There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines, a recent pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy. To ensure the best results: Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.
Why do I have Bad cramping in early pregnancy?
I have the same problem at 4 weeks... but struggling to find answers too!! Sorry can be of more help but will certainly be revisiting this page to see if anyone's posted anything... Mine were really bad.. to the point where i couldn't walk for 40 mins ;o(
Could be a bladder infection
uti or std
The best way to find out is to take a home pregnancy test. As you have missed a second period you may be over 8 weeks pregnant and need to organise some pre-natal care.
Took 5 pregnancy test 7 days before period was due they were all positive how accurate is this?
Well a Doctor could confirm it
If you had a ectopic pregnancy and get pregnant again will there be cramping on that same side?
Everyone wants to have a successful career. For some people, that means accomplishing certain goals. For other people, the emphasis is simply on making money to support a family. The best way to make money is to try to get one of the highest paying jobs that you can find. If this is your end goal, it is important that you establish it as a goal as soon as possible. You are not just going to accidentally fall into one of these jobs, at least not most of the time, so you must do what you can to get it.
The highest paying jobs come in two varieties. First, you have to look at the very unique, highly-skilled jobs. There is a reason that surgeons make so much money. There may only be a few hundred people in the world who can do what they can do. To get a position like this, you really need to start working toward it in high school. Get high grades so that you can get into a good college. You will then have to go on to medical school, so keep your grades up in college as well. With enough dedication, you can get certified as a surgeon, and you can then apply for jobs. There will not be much competition at that level.
If you do not want to do that, you could decide to invent something or start your own business. Either way, you will be creating your own wealth. Business owners tend to make far more than those employees who simply work for them. The nice thing about starting your own business is that anyone can do it, regardless of their education. It would help you to major in business, of course, but there are no qualifications when you are the boss. You just have to research, network, and set everything up so that you can make a profit.
Which path you choose depends on your personality. If you are good with people, starting a business may be the way to go. If you are studious, you could start working your way toward a highly-skilled position.
Are Mood SwingsPeriod-Like cramps a symptom of pregnancy?
Yes they are symptons of early pregnancy as your hormones are all over the place, and you do still suffer from cramps as well, try taking a test.

Can you slip in the shower and have a miscarriage at 25weeks pregnant?
This depends on how hard you fall. A miscarriage can happen anytime during the pregnancy but the most dangerous time is during the first 3 months.

Yes, but they could also be signs of pregnancy. It seems a bit too early to tell if you are pregnant, to me.
It could be, but I don't suggest you take a test until you've missed your period. It doesn't seem like you would have enough hcg for a test to detect at this time.
It could be. I am now 6 weeks pregnant. I started experiencing light cramping.(almost like twinges or pulling in my lower abdomen.) 1 week before my expected period. I was also having more frequent headaches and was very tired. So, it is possible.
Is it normal to lose a clot early pregnancy?

Yes. Take a pregnancy test if you miss your period, or have missed a period already

How many weeks in pregnancy do you start getting cramps and aching?
Some women experience mild cramping and increased vaginal discharge soon after their missed period, others may not have any cramping.
It could mean a lot of things really. It just depends on your situation. If you are overweight and have irregular periods, you may have Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the cysts on your ovaries can cause pain in your lower right or left stomach. Your period could just be heavy and have nothing to do with the pregnancy test. Some women have uterine fibroids that cause heavy bleeding with cramps. If you are really concerned then you should make an appointment with your Primary Care Provider.
Is some parts of body cramp a sign of early pregnancy?
in the first couple weeks of being pregnant your body may feel like your period is going to come on however it is just a feeling. You may get small cramps every now and then if you move too fast or from gas.
Dear Reader; It means you need to see your health care provider about a possible pregnancy and what is going on with your breast unless you meant to say breasts. Dwight my breasts swollen, same like having a pms, i just had my period.
Yes take a test if its negative wait a week or so if u still feel the same and have no period go to your doctor and get a blood test to be sure x
Hormonal imbalance or irregular period or it may be pregnancy related if the periods were light.
