Pregnancy After Period: Understanding Fertility & Risk


Question
My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex right after my period ended. My period usually lasts 4-5 days. Is it possible to get pregnant from this?

Answer
Hi Kim,

well pregnancy is always possible with unprotected sex, any time of the month, thre realy is no "perfectly safe" time,  but the time you mentioned is not really the peak fertile time in a normal cycle.

I think you will be just fine and not pregnant; but again, the body is not a perfect machine... in a normal cycle, the peak fertility time (ovulation) would be about 10-14 days after the first day of your period.  So you are well before this and 'probably' did not conceive.

Good luck-
