Can you conceive on last day of period? Should I be concerned? Advice please!

Hi mn
I have regular 29 day periods that last 5 days. Last night I was coming to end of my period which was light pink spotting. I had unprotected intercourse as I thought I was safe. After doing some googling I'm a bit worried now? Is it possible to conceive on last day of period? My ovulation isn't due until CD's 14 - 18

Seems unlikely if you have an irregular cycle but if you are wanting to avoid pregnancy, you could take morning after pill?

First 5 days of a 28 day cycle you are generally thought to be safe and it used to be that this would not warrant emergency contraceptive. However guidance has now changed and you should be offered emergency contraception on any day of your cycle now. IMO you’re low risk, but it depends how much you will worry/how devastating a pregnancy would be in the tiny chance you were to fall pregnant. Hope this helps.
