What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnant Close To Your Period?

Chances of pregnancy close to your periods are minimum but exist. Because under the normal conditions, egg is dead close to the periods, that is why periods start. This is possible if ovulation takes place at mid of the cycle. Chances of pregnancy close to periods rely on the ovulation. In some ladies, ovulation occurs late. Sex 3-4 days before and 10-12 hours after ovulation can result in to pregnancy and periods will not start on due dates. Life of the egg is 24 hours after ovulation and during this periods fertilization is possible and periods start if there is no conception.

Women can only get pregnant for 6 days out of every cycle. However, the day of ovulation does vary from month to month so that window of time changes each month. For example, in my own charts I see that the ovulation day has ranged from CD13 to CD18! If you have ovulated on CD 21 then yes it’s possible to get pregnant 1 week before your period. If you ovulated much earlier in your cycle and the 6 day window has passed then no, you cannot get pregnant. From the moment the unfertilised egg dissolves to day 1 of your next cycle you cannot get pregnant because there is no egg to fertilise. To determine your chances, you would have had to have known when you ovulated. Unless you were charting your signs then you probably wouldn’t know.

It depends on the length of your cycle. With a short cycle, you may ovulate around then or a couple of days before, so may still be fertile.
