Pregnancy 6 Days After Cycle Begins?
DH and I just got done having a 1 hour talk about babies and the menstrual cycle. This was initiated by my forgetting to bring my pills along with me last weekend when we had the hurricane. They were actually the first thing I packed, but last minute I switched purses and they didn't make it into the new purse. Today I am starting a new pill pack after having missed 2 pills at the end of my 3rd week on them for the month. I had my period and all was fine. The thing is we did it this weekend after my period ended without starting a new pack, I'll do that tonight.
The talk was about if I should start the new pack or wait for a month on the off chance that I could be pregnant. After DH and I watched a couple videos on the menstrual cycle we think we will be fine for me to start the new pills tonight. The videos mostly said the egg is not released until the 14th day of my cycle which would be Sept 9. So the chances of me getting pregnant 5 days after my cycle began are slim to none.
Does anyone know how soon after your period starts/ends you can get pregnant? Do you think we will be fine to start the new pill pack? What are the chances I could get pregnant this soon?
I plan on asking the pharmacist when we pick up my pills today to see what he says.

Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
Maybe the timing will be decided for you :P I hope everything works out the way you want it to!
I would say that you should be fine, but I did read about women who ovulate early. The standard ovulation time is 14 days after your cycle but there are some women who ovulate a lot earlier and a lot later. That's part of what drove me crazy when I didn't know if I was pregnant. I wasn't sure when I ovulated since I wasn't temping yet.
hopefully you find out soon.
