You must ovulate really early on in your cycle. If your period lasts for approximately 5-7 days, and you have unprotected sex during this time, you can become pregnant. Sperm can also travel up and wait for the egg for up to 7 days before you actually ovulate. For example if you had sex on day 2 of your period and you ovulate on day 9, then there could be sperm still alive which cause you to become pregnant if that makes sense.

The "average" cycle has ovulation somewhere in the middle between periods. Your cycle is obviously not "average", as you are ovulating right after your period. There's nothing wrong with you - your body just runs on its own schedule. At least you figured it out :)
