AUTHOR: strazdi
It is possible to be pregnant. But it is not likely. Most women ovulate aproximately 14 days before their period. Sperm can live for up to 5 days while the egg lives only about 12 hours. So the most fertile time for a women is about 20 days before to about 12 days before her period is due.
But be aware that not everyome is average. Some women have shorter and longer cycles and some women ovulate at different times in their cycle. So as long as you are having unprotected sex pregnancy is a possibility.
