This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.

In fact, right after your period you may be even more likely to get pregnant from unprotected sex because you've just started a new menstrual cycle and you could start ovulating at any point.

This is usually about 14 days after the first day of your last period, if your cycle is around 28 days long. An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after being released.
