You can get pregnant at any part of your cycle actually. Yes, there is chance you could have been impregnated but there isn't any way to know at the moment since it's so soon.
There is a common misconception that if you have sex while you are on your period that the blood coming out of you will push all of the sperm out. The thing is, the sperm are made to do everything they possibly can to reach the goal--your egg. They are designed to be able to "swim against the current" so that they can make it upward into your uterus and tubes.
Now, if the egg has already been expelled it sounds as if there wouldn't be a problem; however, there is ALWAYS another one on it's way and the sperm will fertilize it in while it's still in the fallopian tubes if they can make it. Sperm can live in your body for days--usually 5 - 7 days in normal conditions, longer if excellent conditions.
Many women do get pregnant during their period/right after their period. It is very possible and you should still be using "protection" during these times as well to decrease pregnancy chances.
So, yes, there is a chance that pregnancy could occur. There is ALWAYS a chance pregnancy could occur when you have sexual intercourse.
On another note, you ovulate roughly midway through your cycle. So, if you have a normal 28-day cycle you ovulate 14 days into it. For three or four days there you are at your most fertile state. However, if your cycles are abnormal then it's doubtful you'll be able to figure out when you're ovulating; although your internal temperature and discharge would tell you a lot (you expel more sticky discharge for these days).
To make it a little more clear, you are pretty much equally as fertile throughout your entire cycle, only when you ovulate you are a little more fertile than usual. There isn't a time when you are not fertile or less fertile than usual actually. This is very important to understand.
Anyway, a woman can get pregnant at any point in her cycle. It is always best to practice "safe" sex to reduce these chances if you are going to engage in such activities. It may also be a good idea to get yourself completely informed before participating in sex ;)
Also, your abnormal spotting could simply be blood that is still being expelled. Many women experience a little blood leakage after sexual activity directly after their period ends because the activity forces the rest of the remaining blood out quickly. If it isn't that, there is such a thing as implantation bleeding in which you lightly spot blood when the fertilized egg attaches to your uterine wall.

You will probably need to wait until your next period is due before a pregnancy test can show up correctly; however, you can also make an appointment at your doctor's office to get a pregnancy test done and it should show accurately even before your period is due.
Itchiness could be a number of things really. It's possible you caught an STD/STI and it's a side effect. It's also possible that you have a yeast infection or a bacterial problem in your vagina. If it continues to itch for a couple of days you should definately make an appointment with your doctor to get checked out as it is not normal. Some things can really hurt your body very badly if you let them go awhile without being treated.
Better to be informed and knowledgeable of something in case something goes wrong--you won't be caught off-guard then! Take some time to get yourself informed before jumping into things. If you have any more questions regarding this matter then please feel free to ask me :)

maybe you thought your period was over with this time around, and it wasn't. clearly, or you wouldn't of been bleeding. you have to take a test from the doctors to know when your ovulating. because there are actually only like four days out of a whole month that women can get pregnant. and it doesn't matter if you had sex while on your period, your chances are still very high of getting pregnant. just if your period is late next month, get a pregnancy test and take it! good luck.

The chances of you being pregnant are very slim. Ovulation typically starts mid-way in the cycle, and you are least likely to get pregnant just before or just after your period. However, I would advise you to use some form of birth control, e.g. condoms in future.
You didnt mention what day you started feeling irritation. If it was just after your period it is probably just excess blood coming out from your cycle after sex. However, I strongly advise you to see a doctor about this irritation. It may be curable by a simple vaginal cream, but a doctor will give you a prescription just in case you have an infection. Don't be scared! Act soon, but remember not to worry... these cases are quite common.
