"Opps"...could I be pregnant?


Question:
I just started fertility charting this cycle after my fiance and I had unprotected sex just once this month 4 days after my period ended. I have read up on the "6 day fertility window" and know that it is possible to get preg from sex 5 days before ovulating.
My question is: Has this actually happened to anyone else? A possibility is still only about 5%, right?
Most preg people I know were either trying hard or had an accident smack in mid-cycle. Our "oops" was pretty early in my cycle (cd8) so if I ovulated on the 13th day is it worth thinking twice about?
I would be excited to be preg, even though it might limit my bridal fashion options! Thanks.

Answers:
Well, it would all depend on your menstrual cycle. They say you should have a period every 28 days, which would make your ovulation start on day 14. The window is 72 hours because sperm can live inside your body for that long. Everyone ovulates at different times. My cycle was so regular that I did not use birth control pills, I was able to use the rhythm method. I even knew which side I was ovulating on (your body releases an egg from the opposite side from the previous month). I would wait for about a week or two and get a pregnancy test that is able to detect the HGC hormone early. Good Luck
You probably could be pregnant, who knows.
