Can you get preganant three days before your period?

Answer 1

I assume you mean three days before your period is due? Because if you have sex and get your period 3 days later, you're not pregnant. Unless you are tracking your cycles, there's no way to know when your period is due, so you could actually be fertile at any time. Whether you are trying to get pregnant or trying not to get pregnant, you should track your cycles so you know when your fertile time is. I recommend the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler or www.fertilityfriend.com

Answer 2

It "could" happen, but it's not likely at all, as you dont have a good egg to fertilize 3 days before your peiod is due. The egg is only good for 24 hours after its released, which takes place 10-16 days before your period is due. That time frame between ovulation and your period is called your luteal phase, and it needs to be at least 10 days in order to successfully conceive. Now sperm can live up to 5 days, but even then they wouldn't live long enough to fertilize the next egg. Of course you should always use protection if you don't want to be pregnant.

Answer 3

No. But you have to know when you ovulate to know when you can get or can't get pregnant. The day of ovulation is different for every women and can change from cycle to cycle. You can only get pregnant when you ovulate. However, sperm can live up to five days in fertile cervical mucus. So the four days before you ovulate and the day you ovulate are the days you can get pregnant.

Read the book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. The book explains your cycle, charting and how to get pregnant or avoid pregnancy. Buy a basal thermometer at the drug store. If you chart your waking temperature and observe your cervical mucus, you can get an accurate picture of what is happening in your cycles.

Answer 4

No, once your in the Luteal phase, the egg has already dropped before ovulation. The luteal phase is between 10-14 days. More for some woman. At least it's highly unlikely

A Guide to Charting Your Fertility Signals To Prevent or Achieve Pregnancy - Naturally - And To Gauge Your Reproductive Health
By Katie Singer

Many women seek birth control alternatives that have fewer side effects than the pill, but are more effective than the Rhythm Method. Yet others feel powerless to resolve infertility. In The Garden of Fertility, certified fertility educator Katie Singer explains how women can chart their fertility signals to determine whether they are ovulating, when intercourse can and can’t lead to pregnancy, and whether they are prone to polycistic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), miscarriage, or thyroid problems.

The Garden of Fertility provides:
• clear descriptions of reproductive anatomy, hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, and how conception occurs.
• instructions (and blank charts) for charting your fertility signals.
• the rules for preventing pregnancy based on your fertility charts--if its rules are followed, Fertility Awareness is virtually as effective as the Pill, with none of the side effects
• guidelines for timing intercourse when you want to conceive.
• a chapter on using your charts to determine whether you're ovulating, if you're pregnant, if you may have a thyroid problem, if you're prone to miscarriage or poly-cystic ovarian syndrome.
• examples of using Fertility Awareness when you're coming off the Pill or breastfeeding.
• nutritional guidelines and night-lighting techniques for strengthening gynecological health.

Answer 6

Yes, you can get pregnant at anytime
