Question

Could I be pregnant?

Hi, I had unprotected sex on March 10 my period came March 11 and now my next cycle is 5 days late. I am usually never late & I didn't even realize I was late until today, I also don't think it is stress related.
I did not think it was possible to get pregnant before your period starts but maybe I am wrong, could I be pregnant?

According to the American Pregnancy Association, you cannot technically ovulate while on a period; but because sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days after sex, pregnancy could occur from intercourse that takes place during a period

It sounds like it is a rare occurrence, but if you have other symptoms maybe you want to test.

I guess anything is possible but it's really highly unlikely. I think you are just late xx

That's pretty interesting. You may just want to test, so you can get some peace of mind and all that as to what the status is. Best of luck!
