I have a friend that got pregnant after her ovulation, like a 1 week before her period. Is that possible, because they say you can only get pregnant during ovulation.

You can get pregnant the if you have sex anywhere during the 5 days before ovulation. It has been proven you can not get pregnant after ovulation because an egg lives only about 12 hours but sperm have been known to live 5 days. Your friend probably ovulated much later than she thought. All women ovulate differently. So unless she was charting her temp and using opks she really has no idea when she ovulated. And actually the only way to know for sure is to have ultrasounds and bloodwork done to confirm ovulation. So I believe it is not possible to get pregnant anytime of the month or after ovulation. I know all of this from my doctor (we have been ttc for 14 months, charting and using opks and taking Clomid to induce ovulation) and reading the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility".

You can get pregnant at any time. It depends on your cycle. Not everyone ovulates at 14 days. Some do while on their period, some not until the week before.
You can buy those ovulation kits over the counter. They help predict when you are most fertile.
Good luck

You can get pregnant ANYTIME of the month. It's just more common to get pregnant after ovulation =]

You can get pregnant at any time of the month. Ovulation is not an exact science. All you need is viable sperm, a viable egg, and implantation.
