A&A'smommy replied: yes you would miss your first period this month and you wouldn't get another until after the baby was born. Are you trying to get pregnant?
tersie replied: why would i miss my period this month thou? it cant work that fast can it? i mean i just had sex 5 days ago......
mummy2girls replied:
your fertile about 12-14 days after the first day of your period. So 12-14 days after sept 28 your fertile and can be fertile for a few days. So yes you could be pregnant. Yes you had sex 5 days ago but if you did indeed get pregnant you will not see another period until after the baby is born. When is your period due to come in october?
A&A'smommy replied:
yes it does work that fast.
Each month, your body undergoes normal, natural changes that help the ovaries release an egg, which may or may not become fertilized during the course of the month. This process is called your menstrual cycle.
The first day of menstruation is day one of your cycle. An average cycle lasts 28 days but it is normal for a cycle to last anywhere from 24 to 34 days and many women’s cycles even vary from month to month.
A typical menstrual cycle begins with the onset of your period; during this time, low hormone levels produce a signal to your body to increase hormone production levels. While your egg follicles will start to produce up to 20 eggs, only one egg will mature. This egg will then be released into your fallopian tube roughly halfway through your menstrual cycle.
Ovulation
Ovulation is the term used to describe the process of the egg being released by the egg follicles; during this time rising levels of estrogen trigger a surge of luteinising hormone (LH), causing the egg to be released through the ovary wall.
Ovulation generally takes place 14 days before the onset of menstruation, although it is normal for ovulation to occur anywhere from 12 to 18 days prior to menstruation. This is the period of time when a woman is most fertile and when she is most likely to get pregnant.
Because of the increase in hormone production, not only is the egg developed, but also the endometrium (the inner lining of the uterus) thickens in preparation for the implantation of a fertilized egg. Another change that occurs around ovulation is that the cervical mucus turns from dry and thick to thin and slippery. This transformation facilitates the sperm’s movement towards the fallopian tubes and the released egg.
When the egg is released, spasms occur in the sides of the fallopian tubes in order to assist the egg as it travels down the tube and towards the uterus. If the egg is not fertilized, it will disintegrate upon reaching the uterus. Progesterone is also produced in order to help build up a healthy endometrium for implantation.
Also, if the egg is not fertilized, the thickened endometrium lining is no longer needed, and so it sheds, resulting in menstruation. During your period, your body creates follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which prompts the follicles in both ovaries to begin maturing eggs; at the same time, the follicles produce estrogen.
What Happens When Conception Occurs
If the egg is fertilized, it continues to travel downwards through the fallopian tube. After a week or so it enters the uterus and implants itself onto the endometrium.
Once the egg is implanted, it produces human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), which helps ensure the endometrium doesn’t disintegrate; this is the hormone detected in a pregnancy test.
tersie replied: my period is due around oct 28. thanks guys for all your help.
Iam trying to concive and its been hard. I try to time the ovulation but its hard sometimes. I just figured that since my period usually starts on the 28th that a good time to have sex would be between the 12-15th.
A&A'smommy replied:
you are trying to concieve but your husband pulled out? also if he did pull out then your chances of getting pg are VERY VERY low!
tersie replied: i want a baby but he doest. i realize the chances are low..but still possible right?
Danalana replied: It's possible that some seminal fluid was transferred...nothing is impossible when it comes to sex and pregnancy. The chances are just a lot lower.
lisar replied:
yes the chances are very low. However Lexi came from the pull and pray method. 
A&A'smommy replied:
sweetheart I don't mean to be ugly but isn't that kinda wrong to be trying to get pregnant when he isn't ready?
A&A'smommy replied:
Oh I didn't say it was impossible I just said the chances were low, crap the chances are low getting pregnant on birth control but I have friends who have 3 birth control babies
lisar replied:
I know I was just saying when I was 20 we used that "pull and pray" method. And it didnt work back then. Thats all.
A&A'smommy replied:
 yeah that thought is ALWAYS in the back of my head since we have been using that method I guess for about two years.. i hate that uncertainty but I don't handle bc well either. What can you do 
Swood75 replied: We have always done the "yank anchor" method and the only 3 times I have gotten pregnant is when we were trying..Guess I am one of the lucky ones?? But I am getting my tubes tied after I have Kassidy though as this pregnancy has been a lot harder on me (not b/c of sickness or anything) I have just had a lot of problems with my sciatic nerve,back,and groin/nether region being sore and causing me to feel like I can't walk half of the time... 
stella6979 replied:
I agree.
A&A'smommy replied:
you mean your scicotic nerve  I had issues with that too but it started before I got pregnant... and the whole pelvic pain OMG that was horrible 
CantWait replied: well mine was the same day, and I ovulated I believe on Tuesday. So that would be the 13th, I can test in 10 days, so you would miss it for Oct, depending on how long your cycles are, I'm on about a 28 day cycle.
CantWait replied:
I have to agree also, it'll just cause more problems in the end.
