I've heard and been told all my life that you can get pregnant any time you have unprotected sex. But in health last week during our abstinence unit, our teacher said that there's only 3-5 or so days a month that you can get pregnant because those are the only days that you have a fertile egg. Is this true? Cause it goes against everything I've ever learned.

There are those 3-5 days where you're more likely to get pregnant...when you're ovulating, but unless you're so regular with your periods, you're probably not going to know when you're ovulating. However, you can get pregnant anytime you have sex....period. There are birth control methods....the pill, condoms, etc, but none of those are 100%. The only 100% method is abstinence.

yes that's tru, a lot of people just try to scare kids away from having sex by saying you can always get pregnant, because they claim that even though there's only 0.01% of a chance... there's still a chance.
Realisticly, sperm can only live inside a girl for about 72 hours if she has fertile cervical mucus. so you only have about 3-4 days before ovulation and maybe 24hours after ovulation that you can get pregnant. The trouble is identifying exactly when you ovulate. Usually it happens regulraly in the middle of your cycle, but it can happen sporadicaly. Even with full internal ejaculation during those few fertile days, the most you ever have is a 33% chance of getting pregnant, outside that window your chances drop lower and are usually lower than 1%... but the fear mongers still cling to that 1% or 0.1% or 0.01% and say... THERE'S STILL A CHANCE!

there ARE 3-5 days a month you can get pregnant. The thing is that you cant be sure when those 3-5 days are so you COULD get pregnant anytime of the month.

You can get pregnant ANY time you have sex. Your teacher is giving out bad information.

You can get pregnant at anytime. You can get pregnant the first time, you can get pregnant using a condom, you can get pregnant using birth control. If you are having sex, you can get pregnant.

You can get pregnant when you ovulate... but unless you are tracking your ovulation very closely and correctly you wont know when you are... it can be at anytime of the month.
