Pregnancy Possibility: Ovulation Timing & Risk After Irregular Periods

It is possible to get pregnant if you had unprotected sex on April 2nd, 3rd, or 6th, even though your last period started on March 27th and ended on April 1st. Ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary, typically occurs 14 days before the start of the next period. Since your last period started on March 27th, you would expect to ovulate around April 10th. However, ovulation can vary from person to person and cycle to cycle. If you ovulated earlier than expected, it is possible that you could have gotten pregnant from unprotected sex on April 2nd, 3rd, or 6th.

To confirm whether or not you are pregnant, you should take a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests are available over the counter at most drug stores. If the pregnancy test is negative and you have not had a period by May 10th, you should see a doctor to rule out any other potential causes for your missed period.
