A member asked:

Can you have sex after your period, and still get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The likelihood of getting pregnant immediately after your period is low but definitely still possible. It all depends on when you ovulate but ovulation generally doesn't occur for another week thereafter.
