had sex with my guy on sunday being d fifth day after my mentral cycle but i didn't take any pills...want to know if i can get pregnant because i didn't take any pill. thnks

Hi Angel,

You certainly can get pregnant having sex when you did.

Day 1 is when your period starts.

You will normally ovulate some time between days 11 and 16 of your cycle.  The egg is viable for about 48 hours after ovulation.

But, sperm can survive for about 5 days.  I'm assuming you had sex around day 10/11.  His sperm would have remained viable when you ovulated.

You're safer having sex just BEFORE your period is due, not after.

Hope it helps.

Years ago, before I got married, my menstrual cycle was 17days - that was once only, then others were between 24-28 days. After giving birth, it became between 25-30 days. How do I calculate my safe period?
