You can get pregnant at any part of your cycle actually. Yes, there is chance you could have been impregnated if you had sex while on your period, even at the start or end of it.

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 (5 - 7 in normal conditions, longer if excellent conditions).

So, yes, there is a chance that pregnancy could occur. There is ALWAYS a chance pregnancy could occur. You should always be using some sort of "protection" to lessen (they don't prevent) pregnancy and STD/STI risks.

Your best bet is to wait until your NEXT period to take the pregnancy test. Believe it or not, women do not become pregnant instantly

After you have sex you actually do not instantly become pregnant--it can take days before the sperm find and fertilize the egg and then another 6 - 10 days for the egg to actually attach to your uterine wall. Sperm can live in your body for a long time--they've even been some found alive in a woman 2 weeks after being ejaculated inside of her!

This being said, it could take weeks to actually become pregnant after one sexual encounter. The sperm can survive in you a long while, meaning ovulation or not, it's likely they will encounter the peak fertility zone. The think you need to keep in mind is that you are ALWAYS fertile.

It only takes ONE sperm to fertilize ONE egg. Your partners likely both precummed in you, whether you or they realized it or not. Your partners cannot control that and men usually do not feel when it happens. Pre-cum does contains sperm and WILL get your pregnant. Your partners can release pre-cum in your body the second they enter your vagina with their penises--they doesn't know, neither do you.

Purchase a few home pregnancy tests and test yourself occassionally if your period does not come next month. Some home pregnancy tests are better than others. According to a couple of studies done, First Response and Early Result Pregnancy Test are the two best kinds to purchase because they are slightly more sensitive than the others. You may want to pick up a couple of those for home usage.

Pick up some condoms. They are 88% effective on preventing pregnancy with typical usage; although, they do NOT protect against STDs and STIs.

Pick up hormonal birth control pills. They are 92% effective on preventing pregnancy with typical usage; however, they do NOT protected against STDs and STIs.

Also, I say wait until next month so you give your body a chance to produce the hCG hormone that it does when a woman is pregnant. Home pregnancy tests aren't very accurate in finding that hormone so the more time you give your body to produce enough of it, the more accurate the test is going to turn out.

Don't put yourself in this situation again. Ever. Learn your lesson now before it's too late and you end up with a newborn baby, dropping out of high school, and struggling to make enough money for a pack of diapers. Babies don't care if you're a teenager. Babies don't care if you still want to go on dates and have a good time. Babies don't care if you have to stay home, drop out of school, and work 3 part-time jobs to make enough money to buy them diapers. Babies will come when you make these sorts of decisions with your life. If babies don't come then you might end up finding out you became infertile because of a STD that kept itself covered for years.

A baby can ruin your life at this moment.
An STD can ruin your life.
Please think things through.
