Yes: Simply having sex does not mean you will get pregnant no matter when in your cycle you have it. The majority of women who have sexual intercourse, even at their most vulnerable period do not get pregnant. On the other hand, i wouldn't count on statistics to protect you. Next time, use a condom.
