can you get pregnant if your period is already late?

Yes! Any time a girl has unprotected sex, she has the potential to become pregnant. Getting pregnant is related to ovulation — the time that a girl is most fertile and has the highest chance of getting pregnant. A girl with irregular periods still ovulates, just not on a regular, predictable schedule.

Also, while it's very unlikely, it's still possible to get pregnant if you have unprotected sex during your period. This is because some women ovulate early, and sperm can survive inside a woman's body for up to 7 days.

Yes, a girl can get pregnant before she gets her first period. Getting pregnant is related to ovulation.

Can I get pregnant at any time during my cycle? Yes, but it's unlikely you'll get pregnant just before or just after your period. You are most fertile when you ovulate, so this is when you're most likely to get pregnant.

Yes, it is possible to get pregnant without having a period. This is because we ovulate (release an egg) two weeks before we menstruate.

Can I get pregnant just after my period has finished? Yes, although it's not very likely. If you have sex without using contraception, you can conceive (get pregnant) at any time during your menstrual cycle, even during or just after your period.

You have sex towards the end of your six-day long period and ovulate shortly after, then there is a chance that some of the sperm survive and you could get pregnant. So while getting pregnant is unlikely, this means it's possible and makes unprotected sex risky, unless you know your fertile window.

Yes, it is possible to get pregnant without having a period. This is because we ovulate (release an egg) two weeks before we menstruate. When we ovulate, we are fertile, and it is at this time that we can fall pregnant.

Can a girl get pregnant when she's just gotten over her period? Yes! Having unprotected sex at any time is risky and can result in pregnancy. Sometimes ovulation — the time when a girl is most likely to become pregnant — can happen within a few days of when your period ends.

Yes, a girl can get pregnant before she gets her first period. Getting pregnant is related to ovulation. Because a girl can ovulate before having her first period, it is possible to become pregnant if she has sex.

For women with a shorter cycle — the average is 28 to 30 days — there's still a possibility pregnancy could occur if you have sex during your period. For example, if you have sex toward the end of your period and you ovulate early, you can conceive.

The mechanics of sex don't change anything but if you are aroused (even if you don't have an orgasm) it causes your hormones to get all jazzed up which can temporarily delay your period. It won't delay it by much, so if you are late, you should be sure to do a pregnancy test to be on the safe side.

Our midwife Melissa says: Yes, it is possible to get pregnant without having a period. This is because we ovulate (release an egg) two weeks before we menstruate. When we ovulate, we are fertile, and it is at this time that we can fall pregnant.

Although it is possible to get pregnant in the days leading up to your period, it isn't likely. You can only get pregnant during a narrow window of five to six days a month. When these fertile days actually occur depends on when you ovulate, or release an egg from your ovary.

It's unlikely — though slightly more likely than if you have sex during your period. If you have sex right after your period and you ovulate early that month, it's possible to get pregnant. This is more likely with people who have a shorter-than-average cycle, because ovulation occurs more frequently.
2397
It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant, but not impossible. You are fertile on the days leading up to and around the time of ovulation – due to the lifespan of sperm – and if you have a short cycle you could be ovulating just after your period.

Yes, although it's not very likely. If you have sex without using contraception, you can conceive (get pregnant) at any time during your menstrual cycle, even during or just after your period.
