Possible to conceive 2 days before period?

[ally1986]

Happy New Year everyone!

I’m after some advice please! I came off the pill back in September with a view to start trying for baby no. 2 this year. Since then I have had 3 very irregular cycles (32 days, 24 days and 36 days). On day 34 of my last cycle me and DH had unprotected sex and then two days later I came on my period, although looking back it was lighter than usual and only lasted 3 days rather than the usual 5.

The last couple of weeks I’ve been having some symptoms that I had when I fell pregnant with DD (excess saliva, some dizziness, weird aching tingling muscles, loads of spots around my hairline and my hair has gone greasy and fine) but I’m thinking surely it’s impossible for me to be pregnant as I had my period!

Now before anyone says anything yes I know the best thing to do is either take a test or wait to see if I have another period but I’m just wondering if there is anyone else that fell pregnant so close to their period and still had their period? Am I mad to even be considering that I might be pregnant? I’ve done some calculating and worked out I’d be around 5.5 weeks but I do track my cycle and thought I had ovulated around day 19 so I would have been way past my fertile window but who knows especially considering my periods have been so irregular.

Are you sure it was a period and not implantation bleeding?

I didn’t have implantation bleeding with DD so I don’t really know how it differs from a period? The bleeding was definitely lighter than my normal period but I would Hevesy thought implantation bleeding was more like spotting?

Plus I thought that implantation bleeding happens a week or so after conception whereas this was only two days after?

If you conceived then it wouldn’t have been your period. If your LP is that short, there isn’t enough time for the egg to implant so it’s not possible even in the very unlikely event that you ovulated two days before your period.

I fell with my daughter the day before my period.
Was told time and time again wasn’t possible.
Had an early scan and guess what, they also concluded I fell the day before my period.
I had, had a miscarriage in the October and fell in January. The doctor decided it was because my system was still a bit messed up after the miscarriage.

Thanks @Em39ma

How many weeks were you when you found out you were pregnant? I haven’t got a clue when to expect my period as they have been so irregular these last three months!

I was around 7 weeks.

This has happened to me my conception date is on the 22nd of June but I have a 5 day period starting from the 23rd but everything says it’s impossible but if that’s the case then I am dated wrong but then that would put me at 3 weeks behind what I would be but I was also due on my period on the 23rd so I’m all kinds of confused
