Can Having Unprotected Sex Few Days Before Periods, Result In Pregnancy?
Question: Hi. I was wondering if you have unprotected sex a few days before a period, is it still possible to get pregnant
Brief Answer:
VERY LESS LIKELY TO FALL PREGNANT.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
IN general, if you have regular cycles, ovulation occurs in the middle of a cycle.
So technically having unprotected sex a few days before a period is not likely to result in a pregnancy.
However, ovulation might be erratic, particularly if cycles are irregular, and such incidents have been heard of, but the probability of such a pregnancy is very remote.
All the best
