   Yes, you can get pregnant any time you have unprotected sex, even directly before, after or during your period.

   Although there are ways to track your ovulation (when the egg is released from your ovary), these methods are unreliable. Even this prediction is only a rough estimate and your menstrual cycle can vary from month to month.

   In general, bstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent pregnancy.

   If you choose not to adhere to this, you should assume that you can get pregnant any time you have vaginal intercourse, and you should use the proper protection such as condoms and another form of birth control if you wish to reduce that risk.

   If you are thinking about becoming sexually active, consider talking to a trusted adult and your health provider about all the hormonal birth control options available.
