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. I
don’t think that you need the morning
after pill.
