“Can I get pregnant before getting my period” is a question often asked by women trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy. The answer is yes, it is possible to get pregnant before your period starts.
Ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovaries, typically occurs 14 days before the start of your period. However, sperm can live inside the female reproductive tract for several days, so if you have unprotected intercourse in the days leading up to ovulation, you could get pregnant even if you haven’t started your period yet.
