So my boyfriend and I had sex about five weeks ago and he had a condom on. I am not on any birth control. I have had one period since then and now my period is 8 days late so naturally I'm wondering what's up. I haven't had any signs of my period either. I'm not super stressed out, nothing has changed and I'm just wondering what are my chances of being pregnant? It seems damn near impossible to me but maybe I'm wrong.

Have you had sex since the period?

I'm not a doctor, but it seems damn near impossible to me, too.

I found this, though:

Can I get pregnant during my period?

Yes, but it's very unlikely. Women do not ovulate during their period. However, eggs may live for 2 days and sperm may live for 5-7 days inside a woman's body. They could finally meet up during menstruation, but it's rare.

Sounds like you would have had to ovulate within two days of the period, have sex during that time, the egg not quite make it out before the period started and the egg is fertilized pretty much during the period...and the condom would have had to fail. Sound like long odds to me.

My guess is you are just irregular. Do you usually pay close attention to your cycle or are you more aware because you had sex?

I do normally keep a close eye on it.lol It always right on time unless it's early. So that's why I'm wondering what is going on. The waiting game kinda sucks. Not that I miss it or anything, but it would be nice if it showed up sometime in the very near future! Gotta love the female body. lol Thanks for your input! I appreciate it!
