I had protected sex on the first day of my period and the common did NOT breck that's we know of, could I of got prenant that day. And then we had sex 11 days after that day without portect. Or is it a better chance I got pernant that day. We know that I am protect but not for sure which day. We know it had to be one of them. And can you even get pregnant on your poriod if you use protect that don't breck.

Most likely not. I mean its not impossible but chances are very slim that your pregnant. 14 days after your period is the most common time to get pregnant, when your ovulating. You should be fine, but next time be smart. Don't be silly! Tell your man to wrap his Willy!

Condoms have a high failure rate, so the chances of you getting pregnant on any day run somewhere around 25 - 30%. Real protection is the pill, patch, or IUD. The chances of you getting pregnant 11 days after your period are high. You really need to get serious about birth control. Especially if putting on a condom is not important enough EVERY TIME for your partner.

Condoms have a high failure rate, so
(how did this post twice many minutes apart, I wonder... )

You were more likely to get pregnant on the day you did it, with no protection, but the day with protection is very possible.

Are you pregnant ? If so, the exact day it happened really does not matter and can't be determined,

Do you have a source for the "most likely not" opinion? I'm reading: "The time of ovulation for every woman is different. It is commonly offered that ovulation occurs around the 2 week mark after the end of a woman’s last menstrual cycle but it can happen on many different days. The more accurate way to calculate ovulation on a calendar would be between the 12th and 16th day before your next menstrual cycle is set to begin. These calculations are based upon a woman who experiences regular menstrual cycles between 28 and 32 days apart."

That's my knowledge on this topic. The best time to get pregnant is about 2 weeks before your period (14 days) till until your period starts. Like I said its not impossible to get pregnant on your period, but its not very likely. You can take a pregnancy test if you are concerned. But I think you will be okay.

Please don't post "your knowledge" on the technical boards, apparently when you have nothing to back it up and clearly are incorrect. I posted my source.

I'd believe the RN's who post here.

I'm sorry you didn't find my answer to be helpful. My source was paying attention in health class and also personal experience regarding this topic. Im sure you can ask a doctor and he will tell you if you don't want to hear opinions from someone on a website.

Again, on the technical boards specific sources are requested - we weren't in health class with you (and apparently the teacher was not a Physician or nurse). As far as your personal experience, ovulation differs. Perhaps you're the exception.

I realize you are here, trying to assist people. Incorrect answers do just the opposite.

Your advice was simply not correct. Fourteen days isn't the most common "day" to get pregnant. "Most likely not. I mean its not impossible but chances are very slim that your pregnant. 14 days after your period is the most common time to get pregnant, when your ovulating."

But I agree - this is petty squabbling.

Its not an incorrect answer, that's how the average woman's body works. And I realize you were not in health class with me that is why I'm giving you my opinion and trying to help. I'm sorry if you do not find my answer useful to you. Maybe you shouldn't waste your time by being rude to someone trying to give you helpful advice, and go see a professional. I'm sure they will give you the answer your looking for :)

“A woman's monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of her next period. On average, a woman's cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter cycles or much longer ones. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the day the last menstrual period (LMP) starts or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 12 - Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP. This is what many refer to as the "fertile time" of a woman's cycle, because sexual intercourse during this time increases the chance of pregnancy. Ovulation can occur at various times during a cycle, and may occur on a different day each month.” Understanding Ovulation : American Pregnancy Association (http://www.americanpregnancy.org/gettingpregnant/understandingovulation.html)

You might want to contact this Association, tell them what you learned in health class, and ask them to correct what they're posting.

I'm sure a medical professional will come along -

Hmm, well you seem to know all the answers, so I don't know why you would be asking people on this website.

And I don't see how I'm incorrect, I said 14 days. The article you just posted said the same thing 12-16 days.. You are clearly upset about something other than one person trying to help you. Maybe your having a bad day? Well I gave you the information I know, works for me and the friends that I've talked to about this stuff don't seem to have anything to complain about. We clearly disagree and I think I've gave my best advice in this conversation. But now your wasting my time. And next time don't post questions you apparently know the answer to. Hope everything works out for you.

Where did I ask anything about women's health? Please either don't accuse me of doing so OR post the quote.

"And next time don't post questions you apparently know the answer to. Hope everything works out for you." Again, where did I ask this question?

Where you are reading that?

The fact is that every woman is different. The average woman does ovulate 14 days before her period, but that's average, average means over 50% of the population, that could be as much as 99%, or as little as 51%.

You're basing your opinion on a as little as 51% of the female population. How do you know that the poster is in that 51%?

Any time you have sex, even while on your period, even with 2 or more forms of protection, pregnancy is possible. In other words, it's very likely that the poster could be pregnant. Sadly your opinion was the first post on this thread, and the OP (original poster) hasn't been back since. Hopefully she knows enough about pregnancy (which is doubtful, otherwise she never would have asked) to know that your opinion isn't accurate.

Please, when you post in the medical forums, don't guess, don't give an opinion, base your posts on facts, not averages. You have to include every possibility.

Also, Judy never asked this question, she responded to the OP, just like you did. She has the answers because she knows what she's talking about.

You must post a link to your source if you want to sound credible when posting on this forum. It doesn't matter how you paid attention in health class, or your personal experience. We don't ask doctors, and we don't want to hear opinions unless there is a link posted for the information you are presenting.

Our policy on this forum is to not diagnose a condition, which is impossible to do on the internet.

Chandi92, responders here almost never tell a woman that her chances of being pregnant are slim unless she is on the pill, patch, IUD, or had her tubes tied, and not even then sometimes. You said this woman's chances are slim! It's just not true, regardless of what is said about ovulation ranges.

Exactly!
