Brief Answer:
Pregnancy not possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about pregnancy possibilities.

Following is my reply:

1) First 8 days of periods are considered safe time and there is no chance of pregnancy especially if you had sex on first day of your cycle.

2) Since you had sex on first day of cycle, i can reassure you that there is no chance of pregnancy.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol.
