Can someone get pregnant on their due date of their next period?

I watched a health program a few days back and someone ask the doctor that was answering health questions Can you get pregnant on your cycle? The doctor said you can get pregnant any day of the month except for when your cycle is present. So according to him you can get pregnant the day before your period.


You are not pregnant but you dont see your period?

Several factors can cause you to miss a period, or have a late period. Changes in diet, medications, missed birth control pills (or doubled up pills) as well as stress or health conditions could affect you missing a period. It is best to consult your doctor with any questions you may have if you miss a period, or think you may be pregnant. It could be an underlying factor, something your doctor can test for or rule out. Better to be safe than sorry!
