A member asked:

I am 3 days late for my period. i had sex a day before i was supposed to get it, is it possible i'm pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you have sex, it is always possible to get pregnant. Sex the day before you were due would be considered low risk. The prime time for getting pregnant is 2 weeks before your period is due. If you don't get your period within the week, i would recommend doing a pregnancy test.
