CorpusDei agony auntIt is still possible to have a period through early pregnancy, although it's NOT especially common. You should go ahead and get a pregnancy test - you can easily pick up tests that are accurate approximately two weeks after conception at your local drugstore, even wal-mart. You may want to pick up an extra for a followup test the next week, just to put your mind at rest.

Once the pregnancy tests come back negative, I want you to do me a favor. Talk to your folks about getting you on a form of birth control, like the pill or the Depo shot. If you're not comfortable talking to them, then get in touch with your local community clinic, or the local Planned Parenthood center (you can get more information about a local center by calling 1-800-230-7526)

Good luck!

It it's only been a week since you had unprotected sex, it is highly unlikely that you were ovulating thus able to conceive at the time of your unprotected sex. Add to it that you have your period, I would say it's nearly certain you are not pregnant.

There is a LOT of basic, easy to understand information online about how reproduction works. If you are having sex, don't you think it might be important to understand at least the basics?

Good luck and take care!

Yes it is possible but it is very unlikely. A very few women continue to have periods for the first few months of pregnancy, but usually it is different - probably lighter than a normal period.

Get a pregnancy test just in case.
