Question
if you have unprotected sex a day after your period twice in one night n he finished inside me could i get pregnant

Answer
Dear jacquelynn,

Yes, it is possible, for two reasons:

1.  Sperm can live in a woman's body for many days.  Some studies have shown sperm to live from up to 5 and even 7 days.
2.  You never can be sure exactly when you ovulate.

If this sex happened less than 3 days ago, get Plan B Emergency Contraception from the drugstore.  It could stop you from getting pregnant if you take it within 3 days of unprotected sex.

If it was longer ago than that, take a pregnancy test if your next period is late.

Good luck,

Deb
