Hi, I am 27 years old. Can I get pregnant if we do protected sex during and after my ovulation period? Is it OK do have frequent protected sex? Will I still get pregnant in that case?

Whenever you have sex you run the risk of pregnancy. There is no form of protection that is 100% effective.

You can get pregnant no matter the protection you use, whenever you have sex. Many have before using many forms of protection at the same time.

The chances may be slim, but it only takes one chance. You could be that one.

If protection? You mean condoms, a condom has a 3 to 18 percent failure rate.
Also how do you know your ovulation date? Online or phone apps are merely estimates, and not exact, while they are close for many women, they can be completely wrong for others, Proper testing for ovulation is the only way to really know. ** I doubt you are doing that.

While timing of sex, can most certainly lower the risk, you will have a risk anytime you have sex.

You should be using at least two methods of birth control and some women still get pregnant.

I used condoms, birth control pill, AND spermicide. I got pregnant, not once, but TWICE, my boys are 28 and 27. I was going through early menopause, I got pregnant, my daughter is 21. I had chemotherapy and was told it would make me sterile. My son is 13.

The moral of the story is that if you aren't ready to be a parent, don't have sex.
