Can I get pregnant with irregular period?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, if sexual intercourse occurs during ovulation time then you can get pregnant. Ovulation time is from day 12 to day 17 (first day of period counted as day 1) usually in women with regular periods. In women with iregular periods, ovulation can happen anytime, thereby not knowing the time to do sexual intercourse.
