As long as ovulate: As long as you ovulate, you can get pregnant. Although, 20 days sounds somewhat short for a normal cycle, if you have ovulation mid cycle, you can get pregnant. Use an over-the-counter ovulation test to check for it and then you can have a definite answer.

Ovulation?: In order to get pregnant you have to ovulate. Ovulation is generally 14 days before your next period. If you are having irregular periods then you may not be ovulating. You will need to see an obgyn and ask for ovulation testing.

Take the test: If you want to know if you are pregnant, take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.
