Can u get pregnant a week before your period is due? Has this happened to anyone?

Nothing is impossible.

Nothing is impossible! But its not likely a soon after that your body starts preparing to flush everything outduring AF so even a fertilized egg may not have enough time to implant.

Not very likely. You need 10+ days between conception and your period to give the embryo enough time to implant.

Happened to me, I didn't have sex the whole month until CD22 once and I got pregnant. But I have weird ovulation cycles, and I miscarried.

It happened to me with #2. I ovulated MUCH later than normal. I was 11 days late before I got a positive result (having not tested since I was 7 days late).

You would have to have a luteal phase defect. As the time between O and AF is typically 14 days apart. If it's shorter you likely have low progesterone and maintaining a pregnancy is hard but possible.

So yes possible, not likely though.
