A member asked:

Can you get pregnant when you have sex after ovulation, with or without protection?

Dr. Lori Semel answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Yes: Simple answer is yes, as nothing is really 100% effective. However, you are much less likely to become pregnant if you use reliable protection.
