Yes: Regular ovulation occurs 14 days before a 28-day period, so one would not get pregnant 7 days before the period. If, for whatever reason, the ovulation is delayed by 7 or more days, then pregnancy is possible. When you miss your period, do a pregnancy test. If it's negative, repeat 1 and 2 weeks later.

Yes: If one is trying to get pregnant, then that is a good time to start, because the fertile days start about that time.

It all depends: It all depends on when you ovulate in your cycle and what your cycle length is. Ovulation is the key to fertility, not menstruation. Every female needs to know and can know when they ovulate each month. This knowledge is empowering. You ovulate just shy of half way through your cycle. Sperm left in the vagina during the five days leading up to ovulation are sperm most likely to cause pregnancy.

Yes: You can get pregnant anytime of your cycle if you are ovulating. The most common time to ovulate is day 12-15 of your cycle. Days of your cycle are measured from the first day you start bleeding. Therefore, depending on how long your period was you could be ovulating 7 days after your period. In fact this is the usual time for most women.
