Conception occurs during the ovulation and that is about 14 days before the next period comes. This means that you can’t get pregnant if you have sex during the period. If your period is late you can do a pregnancy test. If the test is positive you are probably pregnant but not because of the intercourse during the period time but from a previous intercourse episode. It doesn't seem likely that you need morning after pill.
