It is absolutely possible to get pregnant at any time in your cycle.
Chances drop based on where in your cycle you are, but it is never 0%.
Many women ovulate upon orgasm. The hormonal response induces an LH surge.

Everyone's cycle is different. There is a myth that woman ovulate 14 days after their period begins...but that is only an AVERAGE and each month can be different. The other thing is that sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days.... so if you are having a shortened cycle one month and you have sex right after your period and you ovulate earlier than day 14 than yes, there is a chance of getting pregnant. They only way to know is to know exactly when you ovulate. There are several ways to know and some are more effective than others. Some can only predict before ovulation happens and some can only predict that is has already happened. The absolute best info I can give you is to go read a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! . It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths! Even if you don't get into charting and everything....it will help you in so many ways!

A recent study showed that sometimes women do ovulate erratically any time. While you are *most likely* to ovulate in that "14 days before your next period starts", in fact it can happen anytime, and more than once.
Several of the other answers will tell you the same thing - has been known to happen!

You can get pregnant anytime, even if you are on your period...it's happened. I thought 14 days was the peak days.

A female friend of mine didn't asked to his boyfriend to use a condom because she was two days before her period and she is pregnant now.
