Wow, this seems to be the most popular question ever asked. Yes it is possible, but very unlikely. Most women ovulate around 14 days after their period, releasing an egg which will be waiting to be fertilised for between 2 - 3 days. Some women have been known to ovulate closer to their period. So it is wise to use contraception at all times.
