Pregnancy During Your Period: What You Need to Know

Question
Can you get pregnant during your period or a day or two after ?


Answer
You cannot become pregnant during your period or for around 14 days after the start of your period. If you have a normal 28 day cycle (from the first day of your period until the first day of your next period) ovulation occurs on cycle day #14. YOu can only become pregnant if you have unprotected sex on cycle day #13, 14, 15, or 16. You cannot become pregnant on any other day of your cycle, unless it is longer or shorter than 28 days. In that case, ovulation occurs, usually, 14 days prior to the first day of your period, which is never until 10 days (at least) after the start of your period.
