Hi mimi

It is unlikely you will get pregnant just on or after your period, although it can happen. It is important to remember that sperm can sometimes survive in the body for up to seven days after you have sex. This means that it may be possible to get pregnant soon after your period finishes if you ovulate early, especially if you have a naturally short menstrual cycle. You should always use contraception when you have sex if you do not want to become pregnant, and if your next period is late I would recommend taking a pregnancy test.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Katherine
