A member asked:

Is it possible to get pregnant by having sex just three days before expected period date?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Unlikely: One gets pregnant during ovulation not during menstruation. Ovulation occurs usually just shy of half way through a cycle. Sperm in the vagina cause pregnancy if left on any of the five days leading up to ovulation and not after ovulation.
