how likely are you to get pregnant 2 weeks before your period?

'If you have regular cycles, then it's highly unlikely you can get pregnant two days before your period as, after ovulation, the egg is only around for 12-24 hours and ovulation in a regular cycle will have occurred two weeks before your period,' says Fertility and pregnancy expert Zita West.

Yes — it's possible to get pregnant if you have unprotected sex during your period. However, it's less common for this to happen. Here's the deal: A woman is most likely to get pregnant from sex that happens just before and during ovulation (when an egg is released).

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.

There is even more chance of a woman becoming pregnant if she has sex during the two days leading up to or on the day of ovulation. Women who have a period every 28 days will ovulate around day 14 and their best chance of conceiving is between days 11 and 14.

Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of your menstrual cycle — about two weeks before your period — but not everyone's cycle is regular. Even for those with a regular cycle, it's possible to ovulate earlier or later. This can shift the fertile window by a few days in a given month.

As such, pregnancy is possible. Remember that on a 28- to 30-day cycle, the fertility window is usually between Days 11 and 21. If your period lasted for five to seven days, you are already well within shooting distance of that window. At the same time, some women may ovulate before Day 11.

The likelihood of getting pregnant right before your period is extremely low. For women with a typical 28- to 30-day cycle or longer and their cycles are regular, it is fairly safe to say your ovulation occurred between Day 11 and Day 21. The egg is only available for 12 to 24 hours for conception.

If a woman has sex six or more days before she ovulates, the chance she will get pregnant is virtually zero. If she has sex five days before she ovulates, her probability of pregnancy is about 10 percent.

It's more likely that you'll get pregnant from intercourse on the last day of your period if you have a shorter menstrual cycle. Your body ovulates — releases an egg from your ovaries — about 14 to 16 days before your period.
975054
You're most likely to get pregnant if you have sex within a day or so of ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary). This is usually about 14 days after the first day of your last period, if your cycle is around 28 days long.

If you had sex on Monday, and you ovulate on Thursday, conception can still occur days after you had sexual intercourse. While you're more likely to get pregnant if you have sex two to three days before ovulation, you can get pregnant from sex that occurs up to six days before an egg is released from the ovary.

On the day of your expected period: 96% of pregnancies detected. On the day before your expected period: 93% of pregnancies detected. Two days before your expected period: 81% of pregnancies detected. Three days before your expected period: 68% of pregnancies detected.

It can occur anywhere from four days before to four days after the midpoint of your menstrual cycle. If you ovulate later in your cycle or start your period sooner than usual, you could become pregnant if you have sex in the days leading up to your period.

Remember, you can get pregnant right after your period, even if you're not yet ovulating. That's because sperm can live up to five days if it's trapped in fertile cervical mucus.

Understanding your menstrual cycle You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant.

Having sex as close as possible to the time of ovulation increases the chance of pregnancy. If a woman has sex six or more days before she ovulates, the chance she will get pregnant is virtually zero. If she has sex five days before she ovulates, her probability of pregnancy is about 10 percent.

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.
