Question
Can you get pregnant by having unprotected sex on the day after the last day of your period?
Answer
Yes, you can get pregnant any time you have unprotected sex, and you can also get sexually transmitted infections. Sperm can live inside the female for several days, and unless you know exactly when you ovulate, you run the risk of pregnancy every time you have sex without protection. Please protect yourself!
