can you get pregnant right before period?

I usually always get my period around the 10th of every month.. i have read that you cant get pregnant right before period, me and my bf had unprotected sex on the 9th.. and now its the 13th and my period has not came.... is it to early to test? and are the chances low of me being pregnant?

You can get pregnant before your period if ovulating.but you need at least 10-12 days from ovulation for the embyo to implant.if you had sex on the 9th,and were due your period on the 10th then pregnancy will not happen,you ovulate 14 days before not 1 day.however since your late with your period.if you had sex around that time,when you would have been ovulating then its possible,wait few more days and test.

If you just had sex on the 9th than it would be WAY too early to test... it usually takes 10-14 days AFTER you conceive to get a positive pregnancy test, so the test that you just took would only be accurate for if you thought you conceived 2 weeks ago. If you are thinking that you may have conceived on the 9th I would wait till at least the 19th to test again assuming you don't start your period before then. Good Luck and keep us updated.

Yes, you can get pregnant. You ovulate about 14 days before your expected period. You can get pregnant before or after a period if you are ovulating. Good luck!

You get pregnant when you ovulate which is USUALLY 14 days BEFORE your period. Sometimes we ovulate a little sooner or a little later, and the latter will make your period late. It is possible that you are pregnant since you actually didn't have your period when you were supposed to. If it was due the 10th, I would wait a week or so and if it doesn't show up then test. A test may be accurate right now, but if you did ovulate later, then it may still be too early.
