Can you still be pregnant if you start your period the day after you have sex?

Yes. It takes aprox 48-72 hours for the sperm to attach to an egg.

Typically the egg is not viable 24 hours after ovulation, which would be at LEAST a week prior to starting your period.

The egg is fertailized immediately when it comes into contact with the sperm.

However, with all this said. Anytime you engage in intercourse you run the risk of pregnancy, even if using protection.

Sorry I was thinking something else and thanks J_9 for your rude approach on my comment. At least I was trying to help, maybe next time you could be a little bit nicer.


I was thinking that sperm can live in the body for 48-72 hours, which is in fact true.
~~Thanks again for the rude and unneeded correction.

No one likes to be wrong, but if the incorrect information isn't corrected then how do you expect the original poster to have any idea what's true and what's not? Also tone can be easily mispercieved over the internet.

That is absolutely CORRECT, actually it has been known to live as long as 5 days:eek:.

The reason I was so "rude" is because we are dealing with human health. No matter how inconsequential, we are dealing with life and/or death situations (yes, pregnancy can be life or death in some situations). We must make sure we know exactly what we are talking about when answering anything in the medical field, so as not to cause harm or foul to the persion asking.

No harm, No Foul is a legal term. If we cause harm to a person on the site, and that person decides to sue the site, guess who is responsible besides the site? Yup, you guessed it, those of us who provide the dangerous info.

I too have made mistakes, I too have been wrong. Who is to say that you were not right? I just asked where you got your info. If you were right, and could show me, well I could have learned something. I am not right 100% of the time, and I am still learning too.

So, we all chalk it up to learning experiences.

No you can't be pergent

Someone really thinks too much of themselves.

J_9 has a history of offering excellent advice at this site... and NOTHING in her post was directed at YOU.

GET OVER YOURSELF.

Grow up.

**she sorry

Disagree to KP
Midnight_Angel (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/../members/midnight_angel.html) disagrees: none of this concerned you. Speaking of growing up...

This is where you are mistaken again. This is a public forum where anyone can speak up at any time whether it concerns you or not. If you have an answer, you have the right to post.

And, yes, KP, although my ost above may have sounded like an apology, it was not. There is no reason to apologize if I have the correct information and know that I am right.

So, back to the OP, since this thread seems to be taking an ugly turn.

While it is unlikely that you are pregnant. However, it is possible to get pregnant any time you have unprotected sex.
