A: You can only get pregnant if there is enough viable sperm to fertilise the egg when it is released. It is thought that sperm can live for a maximum of seven days, the egg can survive up to around twenty four hours maximum, you can however release more than one egg so then the time is longer. Some women ovulate really early in their cycle and that is why they get pregnant when they have intercourse at the end of their period as the sperm is still alive when they ovulate, but if that same women only had sex say on day five of her cycle and ovulated on day 20 then it is not going to make her pregnant . I would advise that you start to track your cycles using the temperature method. There are some good websites I think that one is called myfertilityfriend.com. there is a good book that explains all about ovulation and what conditions sperm need to survive by Toni Walsh. It is called taking charge of your fertility.It sounds to me as though you are either ovulating later in your cycle or you have a longer luteal phase. I hope this helps.

I was pregnant and got an abortion about 4-5 months ago. And having brown spotting..?

Q: I was pregnant and got an abortion about 4-5 months ago; Which by the way I totally regret, but it’s hard because i’m only 15. And I have been having pink spotting for a couple days now. And actually a day ago I started having brown spotting, could I be pregnant? I took a pregnancy test like 4 days ago, but it was negative. But my regular period comes around the 9th of every month since I am on BC (birth control). I am nervous because I am an honor roll student, and I wanna go to college and stuff, but if I am pregnant, I am not getting rid of it. But i am afraid because last time my mom freaked out, and my dad didn’t know because i’d get kicked out. Please Help! Please don’t judge me, just give me answers. What do I do? Is this normal? Do you think I’m pregnant?* Please, I’m only 15 and I’m worried. And by the way, my boyfriend is not one to get up and leave me, we’ve been together a whole year, and he’s never left my side once, not even the last pregnancy, or the abortion.My doctor doesn’t understand, and just nagged me last time. I don’t feel comfortable talking to my parents or my doctor. Things are already bad at home with my parents and stuff.

A: Sweet Jesus, why didn’t you learn your lesson? That’s being very irresponible. Use condoms, even while on birth control, because I’m sure you know, the pill is not 100% effective. Enjoy being a kid, before you bring one into the world. Take a test if you miss your period. We can’t tell you if you’re pregnant, or if the pill threw your cycle off.
