  • Can I Get Pregnant the First Day After Period?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Can I get pregnant the first day after my period?

  • Are Periods Different on the Patch?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I am taking Ortho Evra and this period came early -- like a week early and it's brown spotting. It's not anything near as heavy as my normal period; it's actually more like my period when it ends. I also noticed that I don't have cramping like I usually do.

  • When am I Most Likely to be Fertile?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Last night I had sex with my boyfriend and he ejaculated inside of me. I had just finished my period the day before and I was wondering what are the chances that I could get pregnant due to this action.

    My periods are usually pretty regular, this one lasting from July 10 until the 15, and I was also wondering when it is that I would most likely be fertile. I'm not on the pill or anything and I would just like to know what my chances are of being pregnant. Thank you for you time.
