A member asked:

Cant you get pregnant 6 days before your period ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Of course this assumes you know when your period is going to come. Ovulation occurs about 14 days prior to menstrual bleeding. The egg can only be fertilized for only a short time after ovulation. The egg does not hang around for days afterwards. It is gone by 6 days prior to the period.
