Can you get pregnant 10 days before your period?

Yes, it's possible. Although less likely than during the days before your period, you can get pregnant at any point during your menstrual cycle if you have unprotected sex.

Ovulation, which is the process of an egg being released from one of your ovaries, usually happens around day 14 of your cycle. If you have a typical 28-day cycle, this means you're most likely to ovulate around day 14. However, ovulation can happen earlier or later in your cycle, and you can get pregnant if you have sex in the days leading up to ovulation.

For example, if you have sex 10 days before your period is due (around day 18 of your cycle), there's a chance that you could get pregnant if you're ovulating earlier than usual. This is because sperm can live in the fallopian tubes for several days, so they can still be present when the egg is released.

If you're not trying to get pregnant, it's important to use birth control every time you have sex to prevent pregnancy.
