Can I Get Pregnant If I Have Intercourse 2 Days Before Menses?

I have heard that it takes minutes,hours and or days to get pregnant.Here's my question:If you have sexual intercourse 2 or 3 days before your menstrual cycle and the sperm fertilizes your egg (you get pregnant) will you miss your upcoming period to show you are pregnant or will you miss your next months period to show you are pregnant.?

Hi, you will miss the upcoming period not the next one.But there is very little chance of pregnancy if you have contact 2 to 3 days before periods as ovulation might have happened earlier. So, if you don't get your periods on time, do a urine pregnancy test at home as soon as possible. It will clear your doubt. Hope I have answered your question.
