A member asked:

My cycle comes on every 28 days for 7 days. is it possible that i can still conceive 5 days before my cycle is due? or only during my fertile days?

Dr. Carla Enriquez answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Only when possible: You can conceive only when there is a viable extruded egg. This is usually 10-14 days before your period. An egg may be viable 5 days before period, but that is highly unlikely.
