Yes.
A woman doesn't ovulate at the same time in every cycle, and if there is intercourse several days before ovulation or even several days after, she can fall pregnant because sperm can survive several days, and the egg has a life of about 48 hours before deteriorating.
If you have an "average" cycle, chances are that you are in your infertile time right now and your chances for conception are low, but that's only a guess. Without tracking your cycle each month you can't know for sure when you ovulated.
The NFP method can be helpful in this regard. You can Google it for more info or go to http://www.ccli.org
If you are worried about pregnancy, or have a need to postpone a pregnancy, abstinence is the best choice.

It's always possible. I've known people that got pregnant while on their periods. Textbook ovulation says you will ovulate 12-14 days before the start of you period, but your body is not a text book so it plays by its own rules... you'll just have to wait and find out. If you don't want a baby, or a STD, you should be practicing safe sex...

YES, there is ALWAYS a chance that you may be pregnant when you have sex especially unprotected, and honestly that was very irresponsible of you especially with the current trend of diseases in the world. Your body changes all the time and hormonal levels fluctuate due to many factors. You should NEVER have unprotected sex unless you are married and or in a monogamous relationship with someone who you know is disease free. This is not the time to be contracting HIV or an STD

Sure is possible, happens all the time. Some people are just more fertile than others. My friends are always making fun of how fertile I am. I have had unprotected intercourse 5 times in my life (one was broken condom) and, ovulating or not, I got pregnant every one of those times!

Here's the thing most girls/women get wrong about ovulating. Usually around a week before or after your period is when you are most fertile. But ovulation depends on your body's release of your eggs. Only way you will know if you are ovulating is get one of those ovulation tests. So yes, it can be possible.

unprotected sex whether you are ovulating or not is a risk, the chances of getting pregnant is increase by 50%.... just do a self pregnancy check why worry when u might not be pregnant...
