Answer
Dear Katie,

The days during and right after your period are not the most fertile days of your cycle, but it is possible to become pregnant any time you have unprotected sex (even when "pulling out" - pre-ejaculate actually has a very high concentration of sperm cells).

If you started your last period on 11/15, use 11/15 as Day 1. Your most fertile time would be Days 11-21 - 11/26-12/6. Most likely, the date of expected ovulation would be 11/30 or 12/1, depending on the average length of your cycles.

My suggestion would be to wait and see if you actually miss a period before worrying whether you conceived on the 18th. Until then, the best thing to do would be to use protection if you do not wish to conceive.

I hope I've answered your question and I hope you'll write again if you have any further need!
