Yes and no.
Women have days that they are fertile and
not really fertile. The thing is that we
don't know when those days are. We can
try to predict when we are fertile,
similar to how we would predict when we
should get our period, but most women do
not get their period on that exact day
that they expect to. That means that
they might not be fertile on the days that
they expect to be fertile either.
Also, fertility is not as obvious as
having your period. It does not take
much to know whether you have your period
or not, but most women have no idea when
they are at peak fertility. It is even
possible for women to get pregnant if they
have unprotected sex during their
period!
Also, sperm can live in the vagina for a
few days. That means that if a woman has
unprotected sex a few days before she is
at peak fertility, the sperm might might
still be in there a few days later when
she is at peak fertility.
This means that women should always assume
that they are fertile and use protection
every single time (the pull out method
does not count!). Even with protection,
there is still a small chance of getting
pregnant, however. In many cases more
than one form of birth control can be used
at a time.

Dont play the calender game with ovulation
and what not. Your obviously a young
adolecent and are probably in no condition
to have a child at the moment. So YES you
can get pregnant everytime you have
sex!!!!

The safe answer is "absoluetly yes"! True,
ovulation is unpredictable, but to be
absolutely sure, you should never, ever
have unprotected sex. There is an
excellent topic right here on e-health
that discusses this!
it is the "sticky: The info post!"
Please check it out!

yes you are risking it everytime when you
have sex unprotected. I advise you unless
you want to get pregnant that you get on
birthcontrol!
