What is the chance of getting pregnant after having sex a couple of days before you start your period?

Answer 1

possible but unlikely cuz u have to be ovulating in order to concieve. That is 12-16 days after the first day of your period

Answer 2

Highly unlikely, especially if you have a long cycle. Once you ovulate, the egg will live a maximum of 48 hours. This means that if we're talking about a 28 day cycle (starting the day menstration begins), any time you have sex after say the 16th day, you have a pretty low chance of getting pregnant. And if you're all the way towards, say, the 25th day, then it's really slim.

Of course most women don't have 28-day cycles unless they're on birth control pills, so you can't use it as a cut and dry method of birth control. It's called the "rhythm method" if you do, and there's an old joke among doctors that goes: what do you call a couple that uses teh rhythm method? Parents!

But it's still less likely than if you were in the middle of your cycle or a few days before ovulation.

Answer 3

If your period is actually going to start in a couple of days, there's almost no chance. Most women ovulate 12-16 days before their period and the egg only survives for about a day. However, how do you REALLY know your period is coming on schedule unless you have a crystal ball? Stress, illness, travel and other factors can delay ovulation and if you're not tracking your basal body temperature, you'd never know you ovulated late until your period was also late... or you turned up pregnant unexpectedly.

Answer 4

There is no chance of getting pregnant 2 days before you start your period. you usually ovulate on day 14 of your cycle so best conception dates are like 2 or 3 days before ovulation & of course ovulation day & 2 or 3 days after ovulation so there is about a 5 or 7 day window there for you that is possible to conceive. Some women can feel it when they ovulate on their ovary, it hurts, like a cramp, but just on the ovary that is ovulating that month. To know the best timing to conceive buy an ovulation predictor kit & read the directions & do as follows.

Answer 5

Pretty much zero percent chance before a woman has her period.

Having sex a few days before a woman ovulates...well thats a pretty good chance of pregnancy.

There is only a 12 to 24 hour window in which an egg might be fertalized. This is on or about 14 days before a woman has her period.

Answer 6

Well usually you ovulate I think a couple days after your period but if you want to know when your ovulating just go to a store like Walmart or Dollar stores or anywhere really and they have them for low costs.It will tell you when you are ovulating and when you are then you can get pregnant.

Answer 7

While the chances are low, they are NOT completely zero. There is ALWAYS a chance of pregnancy when unprotected sex happens - even during your period (when you're bleeding).

The basic equation is: SEX = PREGNANCY.

Its as simple as that. Keep playing with fire, and you eventually will get burned.

Don't want a baby? Use protection!

Answer 8

It's highly unlikely cause the window is between 10-16 days. However, there have been cases where the woman released two eggs that cycle, but very small chance that can happen.

Answer 9

THERE IS POSSIBILITY FOR YOU TO GET PREGNANT IF THE DAYS BEFORE YOU PERIOD IS MORE THAN 5DAYS. THE OVARIES ARE BROKEN DOWN FIVE DAYS BEFORE YOUR PERIOD AND THE FIVE DAYS AFTER AFTERWARDS ALSO IS SAFE. THE OTHER DAYS IN BETWEEN ARE THE DAYS YOU TEND TO GET PREGNANT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PROTECTED SEX

Answer 10

you cant because you have to be ovulatating chances are if your on ur period then youve already ovulated and there bigger change for infection
