Is it possible I could be pregnant if I had unprotected sex 12 days after my period finished? They come every 28 days and last for 4 days.

ScottGem · Jun 18, 2012, 06:10 PM

Yes its VERY possible.

Fr_Chuck · Jun 18, 2012, 06:31 PM

Yes, it is possible, when you miss a period ( if you do) take a pregnancy test

joleeal · Jun 19, 2012, 12:12 PM

How likely is it to be a positive result though as I'm worried that I might be and I think it might be too early for me to be a mum again?

We can't tell you how likely it is - there are many factors involved. It's possible - that's all we can say for sure.

It sounds like you're familiar with the routine - once you're late, you can take a home pregnancy test.

I'm not sure what you mean by "I think it might be too early for me to be a mum again?". I can tell you my aunt had her children 10 months apart, so things can happen.

You had unprotected sex at a time close to your ovulation. So the chances are higher. What the exact chance is we can't tell. People wanting to become pregnant will time their sex by monitoring signs of ovulation and still not get pregnant. Some women get pregnant if you just look at them a certain way ;) (ok that's an exaggeration). But the point is it's a crap shoot.

Shouldn't you have thought of that BEFORE you engaged in sex?

joleeal · Jun 20, 2012, 04:12 AM

Yeah maybe I should have but I didn't think it was possible at that time to get pregnant till I spoke to a friend that said that your fertile 14 days before your next period! And I only asked for your advise on me being pregnant not on my sex life so keep comments like that to yourself please! Cause everyone makes mistakes! And for your information I might think its too early but I wouldn't get rid of a life so don't try and patronise me

First, you do not dictate who can answer your question or how. Unless a response violates our site rules (in which case use the Report link) then don't presume to tell people how they can answer.

Second, at 19 you should know something about how the reproductive process works. If you are old enough to engage in sexual intercourse, then you should understand the process. Did your parents never discuss the birds and the bees or did your school not provide some level of sex education? This does not appear to be a mistake, but a woeful lack of education.

Third, you are new here so you may not understand how this site works. But we don't just answer questions here, we provide solutions. YOU opened the door to this by stating you didn't think you were ready for another child. My comment was based solely on what you posted. Note that I didn't make any comment about your sex life until you you opened that door. I'm sorry if being honest wasn't too your liking, but that's the way we do things here. If you are 19 and have an 18 month old then you got pregnant when you were 17. I would think that should have taught you something. That time may have been a mistake, but we need to learn from our mistakes.

Fourth, who said ANYTHING about aborting it? Did I mention doing anything to end your pregnancy, if you should be pregnant? Did anyone? So why did you bring it up?

Finally, you need to can the 'tude. You came here asking for help, you got help, good, accurate help. Including the advice that you need to consider your readiness for a child BEFORE you drop your drawers. As angry as you may be at my suggestion, maybe the advice will stick this time.

joleeal · Jun 20, 2012, 05:54 AM

Yeah I did ask and got the answers but you shouldn't have said the last thing the way you did! Yeah I was 17 when I fell pregnant what's your point? Yeah it wasn't meant to happen but like I said I didn't know when I was most fertile till a friend told me that's why I came on here! I didn't come on here to be judged I just wanted an answer to a simple question and your trying to tell me I'm thick and that my parents didn't teach me nothing well your really wrong my mum spoke to me about these things and me being an immature teenager thought I knew better! I said I didn't think I was ready cause I was wondering how likely it was and I got my answers I needed and now you are saying all these things that have really got to me that's why I have attitude

ScottGem · Jun 20, 2012, 06:30 AM

I disagree, yes I should have said that to you. Someone had to.

I didn't say your parents didn't teach you, I asked if they did. But as you admitted, you ignored the lessons. Nor did I say you were thick. I said you need to learn, not that you can't learn.

I understand why you have an attitude, but I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to get you to understand that sexual intercourse leads to pregnancy. No matter when you engage or what protection you use, if there is penile insertion the risk of pregnancy exists. You can reduce the risk by a variety of ways, but not eliminate them.

So be angry at me if you want, but if you learn this lesson it will be worth it.

J_9 · Jun 20, 2012, 06:30 AM

BUT, you know that sex = pregnancy. Fertile times differ for every woman, so the 14 day rule doesn't count for everyone.

You are already a mother, so you do know how pregnancy happens. If you weren't prepared to be a mother again, you would have been smart enough to protect yourself.

To answer your question... there is a 50/50 chance you are pregnant. You either are (50) or you aren't (50), there is no way we can change those odds as there was not a camera in your fallopian tube to document when and/or if the sperm met the egg.

Now, if you really want help you need to take a deep breath, relax and be kinder to those of us who are spending our free time here to help you. We are not paid by this site, we volunteer our own free time to answer questions.

joleeal · Jun 20, 2012, 06:36 AM

Yeah I do know it can lead to pregnancy that why I was asking if it was possible at that time I didn't want anything else brought up just the answer to that question and I didn't want any solutions just and answer

J_9 · Jun 20, 2012, 06:37 AM

Any time there is a penis inserted into a vagina pregnancy is a possibility. Didn't you learn this the first time around?

joleeal · Jun 20, 2012, 06:37 AM

Yeah I do know it can lead to pregnancy that why I was asking if it was possible at that time I didn't want anything else brought up just the answer to that question and I didn't want any solutions just and answer and I do appreciate it I just don't like the words people have used cause to me it sounds like I'm being judged they couldve used a different variety of words that's all!

joleeal · Jun 20, 2012, 06:43 AM

Yeah I did learn that and I was asking if it was possible and what the chances were cause I don't feel like I'm ready for another child just yet that's the only reason I came on here to ask I don't want to be judged I just wanted answers and now I feel that you two are judging me

J_9 · Jun 20, 2012, 06:47 AM

No one is judging you, but you do have to admit that you tend to be a little naïve in how pregnancy occurs even though you already have a child and are a teen mother.

I'm left to wonder why it is you are not on birth control if you choose to continue risky behavior.

And, if you learned that, you wouldn't be here asking/wondering if you were pregnant again. So apparently you didn't "learn that."

We are not judging you. Did we call you a slut or say what a stupid person you are for getting pregnant? No we didn't and we don't believe it, that WOULD be judging you and its not what we are doing.

But you stated you had unprotected sex, then stated you didn't think you were ready for another child. That brought about the whether you should be risking a pregnancy if you aren't ready. It was a logical question based on what YOU stated. And it is how we work on this site.
