is it easier to get pregnant right before or after your period?

You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.

Because sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days, you could have sex towards the end of your period and then conceive 4 or 5 days later with your early ovulation. The probabilities of getting pregnant during your period are low, but the possibilities are there.

What about right after your period? It's unlikely — though slightly more likely than if you have sex during your period. If you have sex right after your period and you ovulate early that month, it's possible to get pregnant.

You're most likely to get pregnant if you have sex within a day or so of ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary). This is usually about 14 days after the first day of your last period, if your cycle is around 28 days long. An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after being released.

Anytime you have unprotected sex, there's a chance of pregnancy — even during your period or right after your period ends. In fact, right after your period you may be even more likely to get pregnant from unprotected sex because you've just started a new menstrual cycle and you could start ovulating at any point.

Yes, you can get pregnant right after your period. The likelihood of this happening, however, depends again on when you ovulate. In women with a 28-day, regular cycle, ovulation usually begins at day 14, which would be seven days after the end of a week-long period.

You can also conceive after having sex during your period if you have short menstrual cycles, as this means you ovulate a few days earlier, and closer to the end of your period. Getting pregnant when you are on your period is very unlikely.
