Conception 2 days after period????

[GuavaGirl]

Can you get pregnant 2 days after your period is over?

My cycle is slightly irregular, but averages about 32 days.

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, but I just thought I put this on here to calm my curiosity.

Yes this is very much possible. If you can conceive during your period, you sure as heck can do so two days after it. I could see this especially in my case because my periods are running about 9 days now. Even if your period is 7 days, you could be producing fertile mucus while you're still menstruating right into O day. (Sperm can survive during menstrual flow.) The swimmers are hanging around and bam! According to TCOYF, if cycles are about 32 days, you're only safe from day 1-5 of your cycle.

Oh come on. It's almost impossible with a 32-day cycle. That would mean you ovulate sometime between days 16 and 20. And if your period is 5-9 days long that would mean sex on days 7-11. So the sperm would have to live anywhere from 5 to 13 days, which while not technically impossible is INCREDIBLY unlikely.

It's incredibly unlikely as ima said!

Your cycle is 32 days long, that means ovulation is anywhere from 8 - 16 days before AF is due. So lets say your luteal phase is 16 days or so, that'd mean ovulation would be on CD 15/16. Sperm lives in GOOD EWCM in the tubes for up to five days (rare but it can happen). So this would mean sex on CD 10/11. So if your AF is just over a week long, then sure.. it's possible..

BUT the chances of you having fertile quality CM IN your tubes is highly unlikely two days after the end of AF. There's usually a bit more time in between the end of your AF and ovulation, as your body needs more time to prepare during that phase (aka the follicular phase).

It is more possible if you had an annovulatory cycle last month. If you didn't ovulate, then the bleeding isn't AF - it's estrogen breakthrough bleeding, and it isn't a reset for your cycle. After an annov. cycle, you can release an egg at any time, including during AF or right after.

And an annov cycle can look exactly like a normal one too. You can gear up to O, get the fertile CF, O pains and dry up, and AF, and not actually have popped the egg.

The average women just gets annov cycles once in a blue moon. So not usually a big worry.

Let me clarify. In hindsight, I should've mentioned that I wasn't specifically speaking about the OP's cycle. I was speaking that in general, a woman can conceive 2 days after a period. Also, I was thinking about the anovulatory bleeding scenerio too, but I wasn't quite sure how to word it, but sk8ermaiden hit the nail on the head.
