Yes, it is.

J_9 agrees: Actually it is extremely rare if possible at all since the egg has already died and been sloughed out of the body during menstruation.

It all depends on when you ovulate. As all women ovulate at slightly different times, it is hard to know exactly when you ovulate. You can chart your basal body temperature, buy ovulation predictor kits, and some women can feel a slight crampy sensation when they ovulate, but it ususally goes unnoticed by many women. It is possible that you did ovulate around the time of your period. The ususal estimated ovulational dates are in the middle of your cycle(approximately 14 days from the beginning of your last period) but as I said, all women are different. I'm afraid all you can do is wait until your period comes close enough to test. good luck!

You can get pregnant anytime of the month but you increase the chances of getting pregnant during ovulation.

Pregnancy occurs during ovulation. Your body must produce the egg that is fertalized. If the egg is not produced (ovulation) then prengnacy is not possible. Although the egg is only viable once ovulated for approximately 18 hours (amazing that we can get pregnant isn't it) sperm is known to live inside a woman's body for 3 up to 5 days.

With that said, you have only around 7 days per month that pregnancy is acutally possible. Now these statistics are not set in stone and do not apply for every woman as each woman's body is different.

Wow this is so confusing. Some people say you can get pregnant anytime and some people say only when you ovulate. No wonder why people get so stressed out.

LOL, yes, people do get stressed out don't they.

Well look at it this way, if you don't ovulate then the egg is still in your ovary right? Now, how is it possible to get pregnant when the egg is still inside the ovary?

Once the egg is released from the ovary it travels down the fallopian tube, where fertalization actually occurs. Once fertalized it either implants in the tube (a tubal pregnancy, or ectopic) or implants into the uterus. Also, as far as implantation bleeding goes, it is neither proven to happen or unproven, there are many variables.
