Can l get pregnant 2 days after my period?

Yes, it is possible to get pregnant 2 days after your period, though the likelihood depends on your cycle length and ovulation timing. Here’s a careful breakdown:

1. Understanding Your Fertile Window

Your menstrual cycle is counted from Day 1 = first day of your period.

Ovulation usually happens about 14 days before your next period in a 28-day cycle.

Sperm can survive in your reproductive tract for up to 5 days.

2. Early Pregnancy Risk

If you have a short cycle (e.g., 21–24 days), ovulation happens sooner, so having sex just after your period can result in sperm meeting the egg when you ovulate.

If you have a longer cycle (28+ days), the chance is lower, but not zero.

3. Key Points

Even if it’s “right after your period,” sperm survival means pregnancy is possible.

Cycle length and regularity matter a lot. Irregular cycles make it harder to predict fertile days.

Using protection or contraception is the only way to reliably prevent pregnancy if you don’t want it.
