Brief Answer:
The chances are quite low.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
No period is considered safe in irregular cycles because ovulation is not very fix.
Usually period 6-7 days before and 24 hrs. After ovulation is considered most fertile period.
Usually in 28 days cycle it is from 8th day -16th days where first day considered first day of menstrual cycle.
So in your case days immediately before menses and during menses are usually considered less fertile days but precautions are advised.
Chances of pregnancy just before menses are less likely.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
