Aftera woman has finished her period how long can it be after you can get pregnant?


Can it be days or a week/s?

Answers:
A woman can get pregnant around the time that she ovulates.

Here is some information on ovulation.

http://www.americanpregnancy.org/gettingpregnant/understandingovulation.html
Most women ovulate 12-16 days before their period. If fertile cervical mucous is present, sperm can live inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days. The egg is viable for about 24 hours after ovulation.

If your cycles are very short, you could conceive from intercourse you had during your period. If your cycles tend to be longer, then it could be a good week after you stop bleeding.
IF you have a very regular cycle ( 28 days) then you usually ovulate around the 14th day. You count the first full day of your period as day 1, then count ahead. Starting about day 10 you can be considered fertile until about day 17.. but those are all rough estimates really.
