A member asked:

I get pregnant having sex 4 days before my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can: This does happen. Even though ideally fertilization occurs 1-2 days after ovulation it does happen later in the cycle especially in women who are younger as they don't always ovulate at the same time each month.
