umm, ok... so my period was this past week, and i stayed with my boyfriend all week and we ended up having sex a couple times. one time was on my third day, and he got off in me. and then he did again on my forth day. on my fifth day, my period was basically over, like barely any spotting all day, and we had sex again, but he pulled out everytime that night. How likely is it that I could get pregnant?

Its not likely but certainly not impossible. Most women aren't fertile during thier period. But,if you have a short cycle, then you can ovulate a few days after your period and sperm can live for up to 5 days. Most women ovulate around day 14 of thier cycle. So yes it is possible but not likely.

Guess I should say though, if you don't want to be pregnant these habits aren't a good idea!

thank you... i didnt think it was very likely, but i wanted other opinions. and yes, i know that we need to stop doin stupid stuff like this, because, even though we are going to get married and a baby wouldnt be the end of the world at all, it is still not the best timing for either of us.

If you have short cycles (e.g. 21 days or less) then there is a higher chance of getting pregnant on your period and towards the end of your period than if your cycles are say, 28 days long. You can check your ovulation date on loads of websites - just type in Google - ovulation calculator.

Don't use it as a method of contraception though, because it's not totally reliable! But it might put your mind at rest in this situation you're in right now.
