A member asked:

Can you get pregnant if you have sex, a couple days before your period?and if you are will you still miss your period?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Never say never,: Even though it would be unlikely to become pregnant at that time - you should still use protection every time if you aren't ready for pregnancy. If pregnant, the next period would be missed.
