About Brigid Kowalczyk
Expertise
Fertility is a gift from God and infertility is a hard cross to bear. I will answer questions about the morality of the various infertility treatments. Just as contraception separates the procreative from the unitive aspects of sexual intercourse, some of the ways to concieve are immoral and thus dangerous to your spiritual and emotional well-being.

Experience
Well-read and connected to various groups that recommend moral approaches to infertility treatments. I can sympathize with the pain of childlessness but also view the bigger picture. An objective discussion of your options is something to have when you are immersed in your loss.

Question -
i was wondering if you have a 35 day cycle, what were the chances of gettin preganant exactly 2 days before your period and still have your normal full period. especially if we didnt have full sex and he pulled it out after like 2 mins. because we couldnt go through it...i know its possible but i wanted to know if it was likely.

Answer -
No chance of getting pregnant 2 days before your period.

Answer
Pregnancy can only occur around the time of ovulation which is generally about 12-16 days before your period starts.  Sperm can live longer than the egg so the days before you ovulate are also times when you can get pregnant because the sperm will live long enough to join with the egg when the egg is released.  After the egg is released, it dies within a day if it is not fertilized.  

So, two days before your period, the egg is no longer around and no matter how many sperm are available, pregnancy can't take place without both egg and sperm.  Of course, I'm right.  Unless you are on the pill and then all bets are off.  But you wouldn't have a 35 day cycle if you were on the pill.
