Any time you have unprotected sex you are at risk of pregnancy as you can not know for definite when you ovulate - unless you are a dedicated charter.

Now by 2, 3 days after your period what do you mean?
2, 3 days after it began or 2,3 days after it ended?

If you mean 2, 3 days after it began then the chances are low but not low enough to ignore.
If you mean 2, 3 days after it ended - well that depends on how long it lasted?

Let's assume a typical cycle of 28 days with ovulation occurring around day 14. Let's also assume a typical duration of 5 days bleeding.
So 2, 3 days after would be around day 7-8 of your cycle.

Sperm can live up to 5 days in the female body. An ovum (egg) is viable for approx 36 hours from ovulation.
So you highest fertility is from 5 days before ovulation until 2 days after.
In a typical case days 9 - 16 (day 1 being the first day of bleeding).

So if you bled for 5 days and had sex on day 7-8 then you are mighty close to that highly fertile window, if you bled for 7 days then 2, 3 days after is smack bang in that high fertile window.

No time is 100% safe to have unprotected sex.
Pregnancy isn't the only risk either - think about sti's...

I agree kia_breizzze. I had the exact same experience and it was probably one of the scariest months of my life! I'll tell you what though, i'm never doing that again.
