is it true that u have a higher risk of getting pregnant right after your period is over?

Answer 1

If you have normal 28 day cycles, then your risk of getting pregnant is generally simple to calculate and there is only a small window of opportunity for conception to take place. Here's how it works:

1. Count 14 days starting on the 1st day of your period. Days 13-15 are the prime time for pregnancy to occur.
2. Most women will notice that they have a small amount of whitish discharge and this indicates that you are ovulating or expelling an egg into the fallopian tube.
3. The reason for this discharge is that it allows sperm to survive the pH in your vagina in order to reach the egg on it's way to the uterus.
4. You also tend to have a slight temperature increase at the time that you ovulate or relase an egg.

That said, it's not impossible to become pregnant without that discharge and it's not impossible to become pregnant if you used a condom or even if you're on a contraceptive pill. You could ovulate at the wrong time and a sperm could happen to survive the negative pH in the vagina, but these cases are extremely rare.

If you're counting the days of your cycle on a calendar then you can use the "rythym method" of contraception by only having sex outside of the parameters of high possiblity. But this method does not have a good success rate if you don't have a normal 28 day cycle or if you're bad with marking down the days on a calendar. You also could ovulate more than once during a cycle as a fluke - it's possible to ovulate anytime during your cycle. It depends on how on schedule and predictable your body is. That's why most people would use the "rythym method" to become pregnant but it's not a suggested contraceptive method unless you're ready and okay with an unexpected pregnancy.

So, I'd say it is possible, but not probable if you have a normal 28 day cycle. The only way to know for sure is to wait at least 4 weeks from the time you had sex when if you were pregnant your hormones would for sure be high enough for any pregnancy test to detect. If you use an early HPT and are not marking the days of your cycle on a calendar you could easily get a false negative by testing too early.

Answer 2

You always have a risk of getting pregnant at anytime. Your cycle can change or already be irregular and that will put a risk of pregnancy at anytime of your cycle.
I have a friend who conceived the day after her period was over and was shocked she didn't want to get pregnant so she thought she was safe....well 9 months later her daughter was born.

Answer 3

No. Your body has a cycle and you can not get pregnant right after you get off your cycle. The first week after is the safest, the next 2 wks are the danger zone and the week before your cycle is pretty safe.
