when can you get pregnant
Hi I have just finished my period today and I had unprotected sex can I get pregnant ?
If you don't have any particular way to know when you ovulate (such as, you don't have access to ovulation test kits), you can just have sex every three days from the end of your period to the beginning of the next. That will cover all bases due to the long life of sperm in your system. That will give you about a 20-25% chance in any given month of getting pregnant if neither you nor your partner has a fertility issue.
Awww thank you so much that has helped alot cause last time I was pregnant I didnt findout until I was 35weeks cause I had no signs so its been hard for me to findout when you can actually get pregnant
You get pregnant when you ovulate. Many women ovulate on day 14 of their cycle (count the first day of bleeding with your period as day 1). But many women also have irregular cycles, and there is certainly no guarantee that day 14 is the day of ovulation. Your egg will last about 24-36 hours and if it is not fertilized, after that point it will not be viable. However, your partner's sperm can last 5 or 6 days in your system and still be viable. So having sex on the last day of your period can result in a pregnancy if you ovulate at day 11 or 12, and it is not uncommon at all to ovulate that early.
