Rare: Rare.... But not impossible. We here on healthtap are constantly reminding women that they can get pregnant at any point in their cycle. There are no 'safe' days. The most fertile days for average woman is day #10-14 after starting period. My own mother swears she conceived me while on her period, so it can't be that rare! good luck!

Rare but: If you a have a long period, a week or more, you may in fact ovulate a few days after the bleeding is over. Remember that sperm can survive up to 3 days.
