Can I get pregnant just after my period?

It's not very likely, but it is possible. Ovulation (when the egg is released from the ovary) occurs about 12 to 16 days before your next period, so it really depends on how short your menstrual cycle is and how long your period lasts.

Typically, when you have your period, another egg is developing in preparation for release during the current cycle. The time that it takes for an egg to mature within the ovary can vary, so the actual day on which you ovulate can also vary by several days. Conception occurs when an egg and sperm meet in a fallopian tube.

If you have a 28-day cycle, which many women do, you'll usually ovulate somewhere between the 12th and 16th day of your cycle (the first day of your period is counted as the first day of your cycle). If your period lasts seven days, then by the time it's finished you could be just five days away from ovulating. If you consider that sperm can live in the fallopian tube for up to seven days, it may just be possible for you to get pregnant if you ovulate a little earlier than usual.

If your cycle is shorter than average, such as 22 days long, then you could ovulate just a few days after your period. In which case, it is more likely that you could get pregnant just after your period.

It's also possible to mistake breakthrough bleeding (spotting between your periods) for a regular period. In this way, you just might experience bleeding during your fertile time. If you are experiencing bleeding between your periods, do tell your GP. dnt leave it!, good look to all of you, hope this help sum of yopu
